Class Experience

I have been a checkers hobbyist for most of my life, playing with family, against opponents throughout the world on online venues (such as the now-defunct Yahoo Games and Pogo Games checkers platforms), and against computer opponents.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
55 minutes per week in class, and no time outside of class.
