Progress With Chess is a local, Cleveland-based non-profit organization started over 20 years ago by National Master Michael Joelson.  We employ experienced players, teachers, and tournament directors who align with our long-standing mission of advocating for chess education throughout our communities.

Through our programs, students will go beyond learning the rules — we provide our students with all the tools needed to put them on the path to participate in our popular monthly scholastic in-person tournaments, held throughout the Greater Cleveland Area!

Progress With Chess provides the most fun, highest quality chess learning experience available in Northeast Ohio, and we want YOU to see what it’s all about!
