Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess playerChess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.
The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.
Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.
I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.
