    The past few school years have been a great success for Killip Chess.

    We have hosted a number of tournaments at the local level here in Flagstaff. These smaller tournaments are a wonderful way for beginning students to learn about and become comfortable in the tournament setting.

    Killip Chess Masters is looking for players of any age and ability level. We have structured coaching at 5 different levels from beginning piece movement to the more advanced concepts and tactics of the game. All levels will be coached Monday-Thursday from 3:15-4:30.
