Elevate your mind.
Jumbo Chess is the premier partner for chess education in schools across Trinidad and Tobago, dedicated to the development of chess across the country and the Caribbean.
Chess for every school.
Every level.
We bring chess into the school day in over 40 schools, introducing the fundamentals and the strategies that make every move purposeful, then pushing stronger players on to competitive play. Our coaches work like branch managers, each running the programme at their own schools, while the directors manage the whole academy.
Beyond the classroom we run the Primary and Secondary Schools Team Championships, free Monday training on YouTube and a shop for club and tournament equipment.
