Chess near Bornheim & Ostend, 1 of 4: Chess for Kids at FTV 1860
Open now: drop in to a Monday or Wednesday session first
A serious club pathway with five youth groups, not a hobby class.
The chess section of a big Frankfurt sports club, with about 40 young players split into five groups by age and playing strength. Beginners work on openings, tactics and endgames; the strongest juniors include Hessen champions. It is not a learn-from-zero class: kids need to know how every piece moves. The section fields adult and women's teams, so keen players have somewhere to go next.
