Description

Class Experience

Chess Camp: The Checkmate Series

This class is for those looking to master basic end game strategy at the beginner's level. I recommend learners play at least 25 games of chess prior to signing up for this class. In this 4-day camp I will teach four different ways to get the opponent's king in checkmate. Each day we will cover a different end game fundamental. Students will need their chess boards and chess pieces. We will not set up a full board of chess in this class. I will show chess...

Students will master the end game fundamental with the basic mates:
King and Queen
King and Rook
King and Pawn
King and Two Bishops

I enjoy playing and teaching chess and inspiring a passion within children to learn. I learned to play as a very young child and believe chess teaches children pertinent problem-solving strategies that help them throughout their lives. The ability to think one's way out of a problem is an essential life skill. Studies show that children who learn chess do better academically, so the science behind the learning is there. I taught chess to elementary-level students at different schools as part of their after-school program. I taught chess strategies, tactics, and sportsmanship to help future leaders solve problems in chess, in their classrooms, and throughout their lives.
❈ Aided in the development of problem-solving skills inside and outside of the classroom. 
❈ Improved sportsmanship and success through chess.

Chess.

3 hours 20 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Dear Parents and Learners, 

Note: I will not cancel a class if there are less than three students enrolled, every student is important to me, one-on-one lessons are fine with me as long as they are fine with you.
