This camp is for young learners who can already play chess strategically, but are not quite ready for the world of deep analysis and memorizing tactical lines that they would find in our Advanced level courses (and beyond). Instead, this course is a great followup course to take after finishing one of our "Become a Chess Pro: Intermediate Lessons..." courses. Some of the lessons include taking a deeper look at the strategies discussed in the previous courses, while other lessons introduce brand new topics altogether. Each day's lesson starts with about 30 minutes of explanation and discussion, followed by, for the remaining duration of each class, virtual chess games between the classmates, supervised by the instructor. Schedule of Lessons (first 30 minutes of each class): Day 1: Points of Failure on the Board Day 2: Shifting Centers & Attacking Castled Positions Day 3: Pattern Recognition Day 4: Open & Closed Positions Day 5: King & Pawn Endgames Day 6: Forcing Stalemate, Perpetual Check, & Draw by Repetition Day 7: The Double Bishop Checkmate Day 8: Conclusion: Review, Chess Puzzles, and more! Schedule of Virtual Games (final 30 minutes of each class): Day 1: Practice Games with instructor coaching Day 2: Practice Games with instructor coaching Day 3: Practice Games with instructor coaching Day 4: Practice Games with instructor coaching Day 5: In-class tournament Round 1 games Day 6: In-class tournament Round 2 games Day 7: In-class tournament Round 3 games Day 8: Awards Ceremony (all students will be sent certificates of completion and tournament award ribbons)
