Class experience
US Grade 2 - 5
Intermediate Level
The students will learn about the importance of protecting their pieces early in the game. They will learn that it's best to trade a piece when they will gain a point from their opponent. The students will learn that a "free" piece is a piece that is unprotected and ready to be captured. Then, the students will learn that an overloaded piece is a piece that is having to protect too many of his own pieces at the same time. They will find out that they should try to exploit an overloaded piece...
By learning to protect their pieces and to watch out for overloaded pieces, the students will be more careful about their game, so as not to lose their pieces unnecessarily.
Homework Offered
Students will receive a chess puzzle sheet to be printed out. The chess puzzle sheet will be discussed in the last few minutes of class to make sure all students understand how to solve them.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
