This class is for young learners who can already play chess strategically, but are not quite ready for the world of deep analysis and memorizing tactical lines that they would find in our Advanced level courses (and beyond).  Instead, this course is a great followup course to take after finishing one of our "Become a Chess Pro: Intermediate Lessons..." courses.  Some of the lessons include taking a deeper look at the strategies discussed in the previous courses, 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.
