The Livingston Chess Club

By Sanskriti of NJ

Scholastic Chess has enjoyed explosive growth in recent years and has shed its reputation as a game only for intellectuals. Beyond the sheer pleasure of playing, studies have shown that chess improves academic performance, concentration, logical thinking, and social skills.

The Livingston Chess Club, an inter-generational chess club, is an initiative sponsored by Sanskriti of NJ. 

The club is open for all chess enthusiasts 7 years and older in Livingston and nearby communities and meets once a week for instruction and recreational play. Chess club will follow the Sanskriti Indian School Calendar 2022-2023 (Click here to view schedule)

The club offers a Beginner and Intermediate program. The club is made possible by Sanskriti of NJ and a dedicated team of volunteers. The Coaches team is lead by Bhavya Shah, a National Level Chess Player in India who coaches and conducts tournaments.
