Chess lessons and coaching around Lisbon 23
About this list
Chess teaching around Lisbon runs from first classes for small children to evening groups for adults and training for tournament players. Clubs in Campo de Ourique, Avenidas Novas and Benfica teach by age and level through the week, and a residents' association in Telheiras runs a chess school with classes on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Schools bring chess into the timetable too: the Salesians in Lisbon, a music conservatory in Rio de Mouro, a parish centre in Estoril and several Lisbon schools teach chess to children, some from pre-school age. A private coach gives lessons in English, in person or online, and Odivelas has held a chess session for seniors. Before signing up, ask about the level of the group, the language of teaching, the price and whether a trial class is possible.
