Dear Parents,
Here at the Chess and Math Association, we share your concerns about CoVID-19 (coronavirus) and would like to inform you of the precautions and initiatives we are taking to ensure your safety, health and well-being. As the situation evolves, we continue to take proactive measures to keep our students safe while minimizing the potential impact on our chess programs.
In response to the situation with COVID-19 we will now offer our chess lessons online. We hope this will allow your children to continue learning chess with our experienced and dedicated teachers.
So, you can now enroll your children in our online chess lessons which will start next week. Rest assured that our teachers will continue to give quality lessons that meet all Chess and Math standards on this new platform.
For more information or to register click on the chess lessons online bloc on our website chess-math.org - choose the Montreal branch.
Please note that if you have a credit with Chess and Math it will be applied to your registration. You only have to indicate in the comment section, to which activity your child was registered when you register.
We hope to see many of you online!

The weekend and evening Chess and Math programs are postponed at this time, we are carefully monitoring the official updates from the Quebec and Montreal authorities regarding CoVID-19. Please check our website for the latest updates and announcements.
Unfortunately, we had to cancel the Québec Chess challenge and the 2020 National Chess challenge. More news will follow on this subject.
I hope this notice will bring you peace of mind as we strive to continue to offer our chess programs to students in the midst of the crisis. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
Thank you, and we hope to see you again in our chess programs soon!
