Clase de entrenamiento de torneo: ¡para niños de 13 a 18 años!

In my opinion, I have found that many young kids across the world struggle with tournament preparation. Why? Maybe it's due to a lack of playing opportunity, coaching, resources, or even a lack of a community. I know that challenge because many of my current students face that issue every day. That problem was my inspiration for making this class. Depending on where you live, it might not be easy to find opportunities to play and improve. 

My goal for every student in this class is to provide them skills, opportunities, and practice getting ready for their next big competition. Whether your next tournament is a small, local affair, or you're planning on playing in a national tournament, I believe we can get better together by playing games, learning from one another, and discussing about our own experiences.

I will start each class with a tournament, giving all kids the opportunities to play games against each other and work on making good decisions at the chessboard. After we finish all of our games, I will then take the remainder of class reviewing those games with the entire class showing how we can learn from each other's mistakes, while celebrating each other's successes. 


I hope this class makes you enjoy chess as much as I do!
