Newbies Chess Class (1)

This class is for those who already know how each piece moves and captures. All other rules of the game will be covered in this class. For those entirely new to chess, please sign up for the Starter Chess Class.

Students will learn how to activate pieces in coordination (be useful in the game), take a closer look at basic pawn structures, castling, strategic aims, and practice mate patterns within the context of a game. Chess notation will be introduced. Students will learn to communicate moves and ideas using the language of chess.

This class is 100% Outdoors (rain/shine). Masks required until we can put up the tent for better social distancing.

-Winter Garage: As the weather is still wintry, we will be limited in space to just the garage. The garage will continue to be well ventilated, and heated as needed. Wintry weather includes gusting winds. To continue to keep classes similarly sized, masks inside the garage area is still required. Let's keep a good thing going!

-The tent has netting that reduces wind, and keeps rain out. We have lighting under the tent for when the sun sets earlier. Space heaters will be used to give us a little warm when the temps get chilly. Updated policy regarding Covid safety will be announced when the tent is up again.
