Chess Tournament Preparation Classes for Intermediate and Advanced Students

We'll be running tournament preparation classes leading up to a number of state championships. The focus in these classes is to prepare students to play in slower in-person tournaments. We'll be covering practical positional and tactical ideas, and working on calculation. The focus is mostly on positions where students need to consider and evaluate a few different options, and spend more than a minute or two thinking.

Classes are appropriate for students K-8 who are rated under 1400 USCF, including players who've never played in a tournament before. Students will be grouped by skill. If you're rated over 1400 USCF, you should try out one of our GM classes here. 

Some of our coaches include: 

• WCM Rachelle-Mari Voges
  
• Bryan Quick
• Epiphany Peters
• FM Gustavo Cadena
• WGM Dorsa Derakhshani

We're using the software Chessable Classroom. If you haven't used it, it's basically zoom for chess! 

• Classes are 1.5 hours long
• Wednesdays: 7:00pm-8:30pm ET

Sessions:

• Session A Dates: Feb 12, 19, 26, and Mar 5 
• Session B Dates: Apr 2, 9, 16, and 23
