Welcome to the website of the Shining Knights Chess Company! We partner with Elementary schools, Middle schools, and community centers to teach chess to children. We teach students of all different levels, from total beginners to national champions. We also run scholastic tournaments, where students can compete both individually and as members of their school’s team. For the more advanced scholastic chessplayers, we organize monthly adult chess tournaments to allow for stronger competition. We currently teach classes and run tournaments and camps in Pennsylvania.THE QUEEN'S HARVEST 2024
86 young, driven chess players gathered in Collegeville, PA to perform on the chess board. There was much playful and competitive vibes in the tournament room, and those done their games had significant enthusiasm to play their next game. Friendships were made over losses and wins over the board. Congratulations to all who participated!
