Students will increase their skill in chess and, through playing, improve their strategic thinking. They will learn to both win and lose politely and with dignity.  

I have been teaching students how to play chess and managing middle school chess clubs for over a decade, with a special focus on gifted learners, students on the autism spectrum, and providing a space for LQBTQ+ students.

Learners should be familiar with using a web browser and zoom. 
Please make sure that learners have access to Chess.com (account required) or Lichess.org (account optional). 

I will use the following external resources to enrich your child's learning experience:
- andrewlinke.com/chess for basic chess lessons and GIFs of how to play chess.
- chess.com articles, puzzles, and interactive chess lessons.
- lichess.org for articles, puzzles, and interactive chess lessons.
