初心者のためのチェス: チェス入門パート IV (オープニング)

Dear Parents and Learners! 

Thank you for your interest in my chess class. 

This introductory class is welcome to all learners who wish to learn about chess, who already know the rules of the game and wants to apply strategies in the openings. This series of class is a continuation from the class Chess for Rookies: Introduction Part III. Participants are expected to have basic knowledge on :

-The chessboard and the basic rules of the game 
-The value system of the pieces
-How to checkmate and how to draw
-The notation 
-Basic structure of the game

Understanding the openings is very important because a strong kick-start can really give a advantage to the player for the rest of the game. In each class, we will review and learn:
-Strategies
-Classic formations
-One classic opening on the King side 
-Game time! 

Depending on the game, the class might go slightly overtime. Students who finished their game can choose to stay to watch other games. 

The goal of this class is for student to improve their openings. By the end of the classes, students should be able to start a game with a clear purpose in mind and create a strong foundation for the rest of the game. I believe that chess is an interactive game and can only be learned through active games. Now that students understand the basic rules, let`s dive into the game and have fun! 

I highly recommend having a chessboard and chess pieces. For the class, I will be using an online platform as well to make sure that everyone can follow at the same time. If you have any questions, please don`t hesitate to communicate with me. 

Warmly, 

Louisa
