Global Youth Chess Go Shogi MindChallenge

We are currently in the planning phase of a new project called the Global Youth Chess Go Shogi MindChallenge (CGS Mindchallenge). The project aims to facilitate a two-year cultural exchange initiative centered around the engagement, education, and empowerment of youth (from kindergarten to high school) in three strategic board games: chess, go, and shogi. The primary intent is to provide an innovative platform for young minds to learn, excel, and compete in these intellectually stimulating games, culminating in a groundbreaking international tournament. This project aspires to foster cross-cultural connections, enhance strategic thinking, and promote intergenerational bonding.

If you are interested as a participant or instructor, or simply have questions, please contact us at info@jcxny.org or 913-742-3415.

Free 5-Week Chess Boot Camp Success

Dates:3/11/23-4/8/23 (Saturdays) 5:30-6:30 pm

Thank you for your support! We offered a free 5-week chess boot camp geared towards beginners. The program was a great success and we were able to spread our love of chess to many new youth players! All of the recordings are shown below. We learned that there is a great demand in the Japanese community for chess. Moving forward, we hope to continue spreading the love of chess, and expand this idea to board games of great heritage: shogi and go. 

Bootcamp Recordings

We also offer clubs!

Our Chess Club and Anime Drawing Club are hosted every week and are open to anyone interested!
