Riley’s Pop taught him how to play chess when he was 8 years old. A few months later Riley went to his first chess lesson at St Mark’s Primary School where he met David. Ever since then he has been improving his chess skills with Chesslife and has played in many tournaments, even some interstate. Riley believes that learning Chess doesn’t only improve your knowledge and skills of the game, it also improves other life skills such as confidence and knowledge. Chess is good to teach to young children (age 5-7) as it helps to develop their skills and process of thinking. As well as other important skills like reading and writing. Riley is always happy to help and answer any questions. Also he hopes to see more and more students learning chess in the near future and developing the level of chess in South Australia.
