Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3
Intermediate Level
The Chess Transformer is an expert-led, intermediate-level course tailored to refine strategic thinking and tactical execution. Each session commences with 5-10 theme-based tactical exercises, optimized for individual skill levels, focusing on intermediate tactics such as
1. Skewers

Improve endgame play by understanding key principles, including king and pawn relationships, bishop pairs, and rook promotion to win more games.
