How Parents Can Get a Program Started

If your child’s school doesn’t have a chess program yet, starting one is simpler than it sounds. It usually begins with a quick call or email. From there, we just need an introduction to the principal or after-school coordinator — Phil takes it from there.

Chess Rabbits isn’t a franchise, it’s a craft. Led by Phil Rosenberg, a longtime NYC chess educator, the program blends skill, wit, and strategy to make chess feel alive. We teach kids to think, not memorize. We slow things down so they can speed up later—building focus, patience, and confidence move by move. From after-school programs to tournament prep, Chess Rabbits creates a space where learning feels real, not packaged. It’s chess taught with intention, not hype. We’re here to grow strong thinkers, quick tacticians, and kids who know how to win with grace—and lose like champions.
