Chess In your Horizons experience you will start to learn how to play chess in 3rd Grade. Once you learn you will have a Chess Competition with all of the students in your Horizons class. The 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place winners will receive a ribbon. Keep in mind that some people get the hang of it easily and others might have to work harder. Playing chess will increase your thinking skills.
