class curriculum
We teach a range of chess classes spanning introductory, intermediate and advanced levels. Each class builds upon a student's foundation of chess knowledge. Students learn key concepts through an instructional lesson and integrate these concepts immediately by solving tactical puzzles and playing practice games. Students advance to their next learning rank through puzzle-based testing and by competing in tournaments such as Friday Knights and Tournament of Champions.
