About
Youth chess at Discendo Discimus, founded in 1852 and the largest chess club in The Hague, in the historic Nationaal Schaakgebouw. Kids train in groups by level with Stappenmethode workbooks, some of the work done at home, and play supervised games with their trainer. Stronger players move on to youth tournaments and the club's internal competition. It suits kids who enjoy puzzles and steady weekly practice.
