We like to think Rookly began when we were six years old and were competing on the Horace Mann chess team. Chess kept us close as we went to colleges on opposite coasts, and we want to share that love of the game with students at Ursuline, The camp at Ursuline will be taught by Amir Moazami, a former national scholastic chess champion, a graduate of Cornell University, and founder of Rookly. We hope chess teaches you to carefully plan and execute your moves, develop critical thinking and decision-making skills, and deepens your friendships - as it did for us!
