Beginner Subscription:
This program is a subscription-based class for beginner players looking to learn the fundamentals of chess rules and play or sharpen their understanding. Classes feature live, synchronous instruction from our trained chess faculty on our level one scholastic chess curriculum.
Students will learn and practice basic piece movement, piece value, check and checkmate rules, en passant capture rules, opening principles, and basic tactical ideas as well as play against other beginner students to build experience and confidence in their game.
This subscription can be renewed as many times as needed until the student feels they have mastered the beginner-level curriculum and are ready to move on to a bigger challenge. The two sessions meet Monday through Friday from 3-4 pm and from 4-5 pm.
