Chess Academy
Danchevski
At the “Danchevski Chess Academy” we believe that chess is more than a game — it is a tool for developing the mind, character, and values in young people.
Our mission is to bring chess into schools, make it accessible and inspiring for every child, and build a generation of thinkers, leaders, and champions.
Chess in Schools
The Chess in Schools project is our strategic priority. Through collaboration with educational institutions, we:
• Introduce chess as part of the curriculum or as an extracurricular activity
• Provide educational materials, teacher training, and student support
• Build a culture of patience, logical thinking, and fair play in school communities
Working with Talented Children
For young chess players with pronounced talent, we offer programs that follow their individual development:
• Individual lessons with a specially designed program for each child
• Group work in small groups of a maximum of 4 children at the same level, to encourage cooperation and a competitive spirit
• Online lessons, available to students from different cities and countries, with flexibility and quality
Our Approach
Every child is unique. Therefore, the Academy’s approach is:
• Pedagogical and empathetic, with an emphasis on psychological development
• Strategic and creative, using modern methods and chess tools
• Inspirational, through storytelling from chess history and culture
