Latest trace

The school's own page gives its current lesson days (second and fourth Mondays and first and third Fridays of the month for one instructor) and prices, without a date. The date shown, May 2026, is a tournament result: the page names a Group A win at the 2026 Golden Week Open among an instructor's results. The Google Maps listing shows three reviews.

Corrections

  • : The Tuesday chess and shogi evening is now one card, the English Only Café in Kanda, with its hours and price; its map pin is corrected to Kanda-Ogawamachi. Kawasaki, Tokyo Check Mates and two schools say which event dates them; three Japanese names follow the pages that print them.
