Estoy en un equipo de ajedrez: Club de principiantes

Welcome to our chess enrichment and club! This class is designed for young learners who want to sharpen their chess skills while having fun in a supportive and collaborative environment. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your game, this class offers something for everyone. Together, we’ll explore strategies, patterns, and techniques to help students grow as players and teammates.

Students will learn:
	•	How to be a part of a team and collaborate effectively
	•	How to identify strong moves and build solid strategies
	•	Recognizable checkmate patterns
	•	Fun and creative ways to approach chess, and much more!

Class Experience:
In each session, I use examples from master title games to inspire and challenge learners. Occasionally, I’ll introduce a fun and popular opening trap to keep things exciting. My teaching approach emphasizes interactive learning, problem-solving, and active participation. No prior knowledge is required—just a love for chess and a willingness to learn!

I’m passionate about teaching chess and aim to make every session engaging, encouraging, and enriching. Learners can expect a mix of game analysis, practice exercises, and mini-games designed to build confidence and mastery over time.

Topics and Themes:
Each week, we’ll explore a new concept or skill, building upon previous lessons. Topics repeat every seven weeks to reinforce learning and mastery.
