THE KING'S GAMBIT

Chess has often been used as a method of professional development for corporate leaders. Including luminaries such as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Richard Branson, the business world is rife with people who use chess as a way of honing their professional skills. Playing regularly practices a wide variety of skills with direct application in the business world.

Business leaders have used this game to train their minds to think strategically and practice creative problem-solving, exercising their ability to work with calculation and anticipation. Thinking AS your opponent and inducing mistakes becomes second nature. All this while learning the most enjoyable, satisfying and enduring game in human history.

That is why we at The King’s Gambit are excited to present our new business concept - chess as a corporate team-building tool. This approach ranks high among available team-building techniques for the simple fact that chess is so effective at developing the intellect. It provides a robust and intellectually stimulating exercise for your employees, and in the infectiously enthusiastic hands of our head coach Chris Hancock, still provides them with a fun and enjoyable bonding experience away from work.

The thing that often goes unrecognized about chess is that it is a game. A fun and exciting game that has survived for millennia as an important part of human society. Your employees will thank you for the chance to learn it in-depth, while your organization will reap the rewards of their resulting development.
