NCHE Chess Network

The NCHE Chess Network is designed to encourage homeschool students to play chess. Playing chess is not only fun, but it helps to improve concentration, patience, the ability to think and plan rationally, and the ability to recognize patterns. You can use this network to find like-minded players so that you can improve your skills.
