SLOUGH CHESS ACADEMY
Ostrich Chess Club
शतरंज अकादमी
We provide the local community with a place where children can learn to play chess and improve their existing skills while having fun. Our goal is for children to reach a level that is sufficient enough to compete in chess tournaments and enable them to take advantage of a plethora of online resources.
Danek School of Chess was founded by Mat Uramovski, an expert chess player with a rating of 2100 (ECF) and thirty years of tournament experience. He competes at 4NCL for the Fermented Sharks, the Hounslow Chess Club, the Slough Chess Club and the Middlesex County League. Mat holds a Baccalaureate in Art History, Baccalaureate in Film Production from the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema and a Postgraduate Certificate in Online Education from the Open University. He has been teaching chess for over 10 years. He currently runs school clubs at the Langley Hall Primary Academy, Castleview School, Eton End Primary and Pippins Primary.
Why play chess? Recent studies have shown that chess has a particularly positive effect on the development of primary school children. These findings have convinced educators in Hungary, Spain and Armenia to officially adopt chess as part of the school curriculum. A number of private schools in England have taken a similar approach.
