What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will receive chess puzzle sheets to be printed out. The chess puzzle sheets will be discussed in class to make sure all students understand how to solve them.Assessment
A learner is assessed by understanding the answers on each chess puzzle sheet and knowing how to checkmate to win their games. When a student practices chess at home with others, or on-line, their skills will increase--this will reflect in their knowledge of the game.Class Experience
US Grade 2 - 5
Intermediate Level
The students will learn what a Perpetual Check is and that it is an important defensive strategy. This lesson will teach the students how to look for an opportunity to do a Perpetual Check against their opponent when they are in a losing position. The students will see if they have a piece that will be able to put their opponent's King into Check. When their opponent's King moves out of check, the student will observe if they can put their opponent's King into check again, causing both players then to repeat the same 3 moves over and over. This forces a Draw by repetition, giving both players one half of a point, which is better than losing the game.
Learning Goals
The students will become stronger chess players as they learn how to force a draw game by a Perpetual Check 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
