Magnus Chess Academy (formerly Silver Knights), was started by a pair of brothers who grew up loving chess and wanted to share their enthusiasm with kids. In 2021 we partnered with 5-time World Champion Magnus Carlsen to grow the game! After more than 10 years and over 100,000 students at hundreds of schools, we're on our way! We'd be excited to have your child join our after school programs, camps, tournaments, or online academy!
Currently serving schools all over Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia.
