TUESDAY: 2-5 KNIGHTS + ROOKS
Students will be introduced to tactical principles such as forks, pins, x-rays, removing the defender, two-move mate and discovered attack. We will study famous games to learn about attacking principles and middle- game plans, as well as dive into simple endgame principles. Each week students will participate in a chess lesson, solve puzzle worksheets, play in a class tournament using chess notation, and learn about fun chess variants! At the end of the semester all students will receive prizes that showcase their individual growth.
A tournament excursion will be organized for all interested students.
All Students will be provided with a Gold Chesskid Account
