The student will be learning about the Discovered Attack--a powerful Chess Tactic. A Tactic is a trap that a player sets to win pieces or to get a better position on the board. The student will learn that in a Discovered Attack, when a piece is moved out of the way, there can be an attack from another piece behind it. This can be a very sneaky way to capture an opponent's piece which is exposed to an attack from a Bishop, Rook, or a Queen that is hiding behind another piece. After the lesson, the student will be able to practice against other Outschool students, or the teacher, on lichess.org website.
Learning Goals
The students will become stronger chess players as they learn how to master Discovered Attacks and by playing chess games on-line.

I am a retired public school teacher of 26 years and currently am a Supervisor of Academic Programming for the Central New York Chess organization on Outschool (https://outschool.com/teachers/CENTRAL-NY-CHESS-INC?usid=wUq7nkLS&signup=true&authTrigger=follow_teacher&follow=true&utm_campaign=share_leader_link). I have taught children and adults in Beginning and Intermediate 1 Chess classes for 23 years in after school programs, summer Chess Camps, online in my Cool Chess classes and now for Central New York Chess. I love to see how Chess helps the brain to think, to make predictions, to sequence, see patterns, etc. I love to see when a student learns how to checkmate and improves upon their game! I teach One Time Cool Chess classes and Private and Multi-Day Classes with Central New York Chess. I enjoy Art, Chess, Scrapbooking, and Travel! I hope to see you in my chess classes soon!Reviews
