DEEP LEARNING

Using Chess As A Tool for Learning

Chess Team 2021

While Foothills Chess has a long tradition of being among the strongest high school programs in the nation, it's not about conquering the competition. As student Pranav Iyer explains: “(It's) being able to react to unexpected situations quickly and being able to come up with solutions,” said Iyer. “I think that’s a really valuable skill to have.”
“It also teaches humility,” said CFHS chess coach, Robby Adamson. “You don’t get better without making a lot of mistakes.”
