New Classes starting this summer
Level 2 - Principles of Good Moves
I’ve been getting lots of calls from players who know how to play chess and are ready for the next step. Our Level 2 class will begin in October after our Level 1 class finishes. Level 1 teaches all the legal moves of chess, how to record your games, how to checkmate your opponent, and other foundational elements of chess. Level 2 starts teaching principles of what we want to accomplish in our games and how to make good moves instead of just legal moves.
Level 8 - Intermediate Tactics
Do you have problems finding a winning attack after your opponent has castled? This level continues intermediate tactics by surveying the techniques to win against a castled king (or if the king is stuck in the center).
Coaching
If you are looking for one-on-one instruction or small group instruction, contact us and reserve your time with one of our coaches before someone else grabs your best spot with the coach that you want.
