At Barbosa Chess Academy, we believe these three pillars are essential for success in chess. Skill represents the tactical strategic knowledge we impart, while attitude underscores the importance of a positive mindset in both learning and competing. Commitment reflects the dedication required to improve and excel at the game. Together, they create a comprehensive approach to chess education that not only enhances play but also fosters a love for the game
