For brand new players and novice players – If your child has only played for one year, he/she will enjoy this class. They will learn tactics and strategies as well as proper chess etiquette and decorum. The morning begins with group instruction and then students play each other.
For the more advanced player - This class will focus on learning strategy, tactics and advanced theory. Sharpen your skills, create and exploit weaknesses and imbalances, understand the main idea in preferred openings, and much more. Students may keep a journal of their games and be given puzzles to solve at home. Tournament play will be emphasized. The class will also be taught fun alternative chess games such as Bughouse and Speed Chess.
All classes are taught by Norman Alston.
