Description

Our weekly Wed evening classes feature a 4:1 to 8:1 coach:student ratio for tailored, engaging lessons, USCF-rated games that put their learnings into competitive use, 1:1 game analysis by professional coaches behind the state and national (online) champion Fallon Middle School team, and fun games like blitz and bughouse.

Open to all youth players grades 1-12 throughout Tri-Valley.

Sections:

1) Beginners (Grade 3 and under) - 5 pm to 6 pm for completely new players to those that know the basic rules. We provide a fast track for kids to learn the core tactics and start playing rated tournament games by the end of the session.

 

2) Advanced Beginners - 5 pm to 6 pm for older (K3+) beginners up to players that have started to play online or tournaments (up to USCF 400 rating/600 online). We reinforce the key tactics and teach kids how to start thinking strategically - and win.

 

3) Intermediate - 6 pm to 7:30 pm for players (USCF 300-700 / online 500-900), we target all facets of the game - from openings, middlegame, and endgames - as well as improve visualization and problem-solving on the board.

 

4) Advanced - 6 pm to 7:30 pm for players (USCF 700-1200 / online 900-1500 rating), we teach the essential strategies and mental skills that translate to tournament toughness and ongoing rating gains.
