체스 클럽 - 배우고, 놀고, 교류하세요

♟️ This is an ongoing club for *Middle School* aged learners to practice playing chess in a friendly and mildly competitive environment. All skill levels are welcome! We have a solid mix of beginner and intermediate players in most classes.

🤔 Class Experience

Top of the Hour: Welcome to new members and sharing from experienced members.

First ten to twenty minutes: Discuss opening, mid-game, or end-game strategies, and practice puzzles.

By about quarter after the hour we have generally settled into a comfortable rhythm of playing chess, discussing moves taken, and analyzing each other's strategies. Most groups are a pleasant mix of chess discussion and social conversation about recent movies, comics, favorite books, and gaming.

👑 If you'd like to join an advanced class or one which is more quiet to allow for careful thinking, please message me for recommendations of which days/times will fit your needs.
