Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
Intermediate Level
This class is intended for intermediate players who have played before and are already familiar with some basic concepts. The class reveals intermediate tactics and strategies (including how to avoid weakening your position, pawn structure, castling early, king safety, bishops vs. knights and much more). The class is structured so that I will teach a concept, give exercises, then go through the answers with all the students. I will teach with a big chess demonstration board next to me in the video frame. My teaching style is informative yet at the same time fun and casual, so students can enjoy the experience. Learners will get to interact with me throughout the entire class by asking and answering questions, playing a game of chess with me, etc.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to sharpen their tactical skills, become more confident in their attacks on the enemy position, improve their understanding of pawn structure and be able to visualize further ahead in their calculations.
