Business Owner
George Krasnopolskiy is the Co-Founder of CheckMates Chess Academy. A competitive chess player in his youth, George caught himself using chess skills in his everyday life with great success, and wanted to share this with the world.
He created a curriculum that would teach kids chess, and answer the most important question: How can I use this in my everyday life?
He found that all kids (especially those with ADD & BD) could learn to apply the skills such as consequential thinking and patience to their lives. Sports, Games, and everyday life require the skills that children are able to practice in chess, and George’s philosophy revolves around learning these skills in the fun environment.
