Start at the beginning and grow from there using a ‘Win or Learn’ approach to beginner chess ... and life! This class is for the new beginner, young and old, who doesn’t yet know about the pieces and how they move - or for the early beginner who has learned a bit but is not yet comfortable with the game. Students learn piece movement, chess foundations, and understanding check, checkmate, and stalemate. We cover topics such as safe squares, threats, and exchanges to build fundamental skills needed to learn strategic tactics. All ages welcome (under 8 with a participating adult).

Fall 2023 Class Dates are: Oct 6, 13, 27, Nov 3, 17, Dec 1 & 15 from 4:45-5:45pm

Fee: $75.00
