Gambit - Chess Club Courses & Training Elementor Template Kit

Gambit is a sophisticated and intellectually styled Elementor Template Kit designed specifically for chess clubs, private coaches, chess schools, and tournament organizers. It features a strategic "monochrome" or high-contrast design (typically black, white, and wood/gold accents) that mimics the aesthetic of a chessboard.

Like many niche kits, Gambit is optimized for the free version of Elementor, making it an affordable entry point for community clubs or independent trainers.

## Core Features

15+ Specialized Templates: Tailored layouts for lessons, tournament schedules, and club memberships.

No Elementor Pro Needed: All advanced functionality (Headers, Footers, and Form styling) is handled through free companion plugins.

Course-Focused Layouts: Includes dedicated sections to list chess levels (e.g., "Beginner to Grandmaster").

Fully Responsive: Ensures that members can check tournament pairings or lesson times on their mobile devices.

Global Style Panel: Change your "Brand Accent" color (e.g., from Gold to Blue) across all 15+ templates in one click.

## Why Choose Gambit?

It includes specialized icons and imagery placeholders that fit the "Grandmaster" aesthetic, saving you hours of searching for appropriate stock photos.
