US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner Level
This class is intended for beginners or for those who have never played chess before. No experience or knowledge necessary. The class covers all the basics (how the pieces move, the rules, etc.) plus some next-step topics like tactics and strategy (forks, pins, discovered attacks and more). The class is structured so that I will teach a concept, give exercises, then go through the answers with all the students. I will teach with a big chess demonstration board next to me in the video frame....
This class is taught in English.
Students will learn the pieces, how they move, all the main rules, basic tactics including forks and pins, and how to practically incorporate all this into a game of chess.
