All About Chess is excited to be hosting a chess class on Tuesdays at Newcastle Elementary. We will meet before school from 8:05-9:05am in Portable 6.
Chess class is a place for students to practice problem solving, critical thinking, and sportsmanship while having fun learning and playing a timeless game. Kids start the class with casual chess games, then progress to a lesson tailored to the class’ collective skill level. Next, they play a formal (unrated) 'tournament game’ that allows them to practice skills under the same rules and expectations as a real tournament. Our overall goal is to help kids think through decisions logically, learn from their mistakes, and of course, have fun doing it! All experience levels are welcome.
You can add on a 1 year gold membership to chesskid.com for $20.00 (Regularly $49.00). This has some great tools for students looking to improve and practice with their peers. They would also be added to our group, which gives access to our practice tournaments.
Please contact All About Chess if you have any questions.
