Chess for Rookies: Introduction to Chess Part VI (Essential Tactics)

Dear Parents and Learners! 

Thank you for your interest in my chess class! :) 

This class is welcome to all learners who wish to learn about chess, who already know the rules of the game and wants to apply tactics and improve their game play. Tactics are essential throughout the game and especially during the mid-game. This series of class is a continuation from the class Chess for Rookies: Introduction Part V. Participants are expected to have basic knowledge on:

-The chessboard and the basic rules of the game 
-The value system of the pieces
-How to checkmate and how to draw
-The notation 
-Basic structure of the game

In this multi-day class we will cover:
- Pin and Skewer
- Double Check and Fork 
- Discovered Attacks and Checks 
- Desperado and Battery 
- Sacrifice and Interference 
Please see the syllabus for more information. 

The following is the structure of the class:
- 5 minutes of introduction and review 
- 20 minutes of presentation and deciphering each part of the tactics 
- 15 minutes of application by solving puzzles and creating our own puzzles 

I highly recommend having a chessboard and chess pieces. This will allow the student create their own puzzles and analyze the position on their physical board. For the class, I will be using an online platform as well to make sure that everyone can follow at the same time. If you have any questions or need to request a different time, please don`t hesitate to communicate with me. 

Warmly, 

Louisa
