Both Classes, Summer Course, and Vacation Weeks: The first class will be used to evaluate the skill level in the class and a customized curriculum will be made to best suite the children in the class. 

Beginner: Chess is a fun and strategic game that can improve decision-making, strategic thinking, analytical skills, and more. We will learn the names of pieces, how they move, basic tactics, openings, checkmates, and endgames. Classes include 30-40 minutes of instruction with 20-30 minutes of supervised play.

Intermediate: Kids who are active players in tournaments or who are willing to participate in tournaments can sign up for this class. This is a semi competitive class and the class will be taught with more intermediate and advanced strategies and focus on tournament playing skills. We will also do a lot of puzzles and write notations so please bring a pencil and a score book if you have one.

Advanced class: For Tournament players with an active USCF Rating !
The class is structured with learning and playing time. It’s an 1:15min class with a tournament players every week. We have puzzle and lesson at the beginning of the class and structured playtime at the end of the class. We take individual players games at the tournament , analyse during the lesson and help them improve their game. We also give guidance on various tournaments they can attend in the season. If you are a regular tournament player and who wants to take their chess to next level we highly recommend this class.
