If your child is a beginner at chess or knows a bit about a chess game - this ongoing chess course is the right course!

I will share my screen with a chess program, where the kids will be able to see the chessboard and actually move the pieces by themselves. Kids play vs each other after the lecture. Every student will have a chance to play a game and participate in our discussions.
The kids could be absolute beginners or know how to play chess a bit. We will cover the basics and learn more!
