CHESS CLUB

SPRING 2024 ENRICHMENT

 

  • Classes are on Mondays.
  • Session Dates: Jan 22 - May 13
  • Blackout days: 3/11
  • Timings: 3:10-4:10pm
  • Price: $230 per child
  • The students will learn the basic rules of chess, study openings, middlegame, endgame, basic checkmate patterns. They will also learn basic tactical exercises (pins, forks, double attacks, skewers, etc.) and look out for tricks and traps. As they grow stronger, they will learn to spot simple combinations and master the simplest methods of attacking and defending. The purpose is to teach the student to see the chessboard, find hidden threats and connections between different pieces, and coordinate the pieces to achieve one goal. Decisiveness, discipline, analytical thinking, focus, and patience are essential at this young age when thinking patterns and habits are developed. Chess accomplishes all of these qualities.
