WGM Elena Chess School is a special place for children to achieve maximum success in chess and education. Elena doesn’t
set an absolute goal of training for chess mastership but rather using chess as an educational
tool to enhance primary education and develop natural abilities of each child.
At the same time the children who are interested
in competing in chess tournaments will get best available help on how to improve and prepare for chess
competition. These two goals cannot be completely separated and they both help the
child to learn critical thinking, memory, pattern
recognition, as well as work well under stress, take defeat with a grace and to
respect friends and opponents.

WGM Elena’s
Chess Academy
The Elena Chess School is using Chess Academy curriculum WORKBOOKS that
Elena developed several years ago in 2001 when she was teaching chess to
her son Nicholas Orlov since he was pre-K student (since 4.5
y.o.). He became highest ranked (ever) 2nd grader in WA
state with rating 1600 and came #2 at the US National Chess Championship
in 2005. Many Elena’s other students came at the top places at the Nationals,
most recent Nathaniel Yee from UCDS school who also took 2nd place at
US Nationals December 2007. He is a 2nd grader rated 1400+.
13 of WGM Elena school students (1200+) qualified to Tournament
of Champions this year (2008) by winning 5 out of 5 in Open local tournaments Champions
It takes a year for WGM Elena students to reach
1000+ level.
It is demanding curriculum,
and students will have to do homework and follow WGM Elena’s instructions. Students who are following all directions will become
Champions.
