Lakeshore chess club is the first chess club in Montreal, Founded by WWII Air Force veterans in Dorval. The Club has been hosted at several different locations in the West Island over the years and now is hosted back in Dorval. “Lakeshore chess club” and “Chess and Yoga for kids “merged and offered a community space where everybody, regardless of age or gender could come and play friendly game. Furthermore “Lakeshore chess club for All” become a place where anyone could come and learn how to play chess or improve their skills through group lessons. The club also organizes seasonal tournaments, blitz tournaments, and an annual Championship. Join us for a tournament, a game, a lesson, or as a spectator!

Adults who play chess or are learning to play could have extra motivation for social contact and the prevention of loneliness and isolation. Chess exercises the mind and memory, staving off dementia and other degenerative conditions.
Kids and their parents from the Program “Chess for kids” are excellent examples of mixing age groups and socioeconomic backgrounds to improve social and cognitive development.

Program YOGA & CHESS for kids

After years of teaching practice, I have chosen this combination of mental and physical art because they are complementary and supportive to one another in a way that stimulates and encourages healthy and functional development. Children who do the Program well will benefit in terms of improved self-esteem, as well as having the chance to make friends who share their interest.
Kids “s Chess is fun! The children will have the opportunity to develop:
- Concentration
- Logical thought
- Planning
- Pattern recognition
- Self-discipline
- Taking responsibility for their own mistakes
Kids ’s Yoga is fun! The children use their imagination and yoga postures to learn:
- New vocabulary
- Develop motor and movement skills
- Understand balance
- Relaxation through visualization and breath
