FAQ
How are students grouped?
We group students by skill as best we can. For students who've done prior online chess activities with us, we'll use their ratings, and make groups that are as close together in skill as possible.
What does a lesson look like?
Here's an exciting minute of a beginner lesson.
What equipment do we need? Do we need a chess board?
Just a laptop or tablet that can open chessable.com. Once you sign in to Chessable, you'll need to allow the site to use your audio and video, just like with zoom. Do not use the Chessable app.
Who's teaching the camp?
We have a bunch of teachers at each camp, but you can see some of our team here.
