My name is Savva Savushkin. I first discovered chess at age 6, when a classmate beat me in a game. I immediately wanted a rematch — so I asked my parents to sign me up for lessons. By age 7, I had already started participating in chess tournaments.
That was 19 years ago. Since then, chess has become a huge part of my life. Four years ago, I founded this school, and today we teach 500+ students around the world.
We'd love to have your child join us 😊
Meet Savva
Savva has been passionate about chess since age 6 — and competing since age 7. His teaching style is structured, energetic, and built around one goal: helping every child fall in love with the game.
Kids who once thought chess was "boring" often end up asking for extra lessons ♟️
Our Proven 3-Step Method
From first move to tournament-ready — here's how we get there.
Meet & Assess
Your child's free 20–30 min trial lesson. You're welcome to watch the whole thing. Your coach assesses their level and puts together a personalized learning plan — before the second class even starts.
Build the Foundation
One-on-one lessons first. We move fast — covering the most important topics in an accelerated format — and bring your child up to a solid level at their own pace.
Play & Compete
Once the foundation is in place, your child starts playing against a partner. Real games, real decisions — the final step toward tournament play.
