Day 3:, Checkmate in 2 puzzles n Rook roller checkmate Day 4: Queen checkmate Day 5 : Draw rules: 50 moves rule , draw by agreement and insufficient mating material Day 6 : Finding best moves to get out of check and avoiding stalemate in winning situations Day 7 : Sacrifice to win – puzzles for sacrificing different pieces Day 8 : Avoid traps and counter attack – defensive skills Day 9 : Stopping pawn promotions and avoiding checks Day 10 : Assessment of positions , simplification and imbalances basic. The students will start playing timed games with the teacher from the very first class and as they progress further in the class , they will also be encouraged to play games against each other in a healthy competition. The teacher will help in game analysis and explain the concepts better. Each day will have a minimum of 20 minute of game play.
