チェスのプロになる: 初心者レベル 2

This class is for young learners who can already play chess, but haven't yet gotten a firm handle on tactics and strategy - a great followup course to take after finishing one of our "Become a Chess Pro: Intro for Beginners" courses.  Some of the lessons include taking a deeper look at the strategies discussed in the previous course, while other lessons introduce brand new topics altogether.  Each week's lesson starts with about 30 minutes of explanation and discussion, followed by, for the remaining duration of each class, virtual chess games between the classmates, supervised by the instructor.
