Weekly Chess in Blackhawk Montessori
Time : Wednesday 12:30 - 1:30 pm
Dates: 5/3 - 5/24
The class is one hour long, split into two segments. In the first half hour, a coach gives a lesson on a theme, idea, motif, or classical game. Students participate by debating and attempting to find the best move in certain positions. We follow a curriculum that is tailored to the level of the class. Our primary focus are tactics, endgames, and identifying checkmating patterns. Homework is given to supplement the topics covered in class and reviewed the following week. We also review classical chess games to learn from the successes and failures of masters from previous eras.
Students do not need to bring a chessboard to the class. One will be provided by the instructor. Parents are encouraged to buy a chessboard for use at home.
Castle Chess is a chess and Go enrichment company founded at the heart of the Bay Area with partnerships with over 50+ education providers including some of the most celebrated schools in the Bay Area, learning centers, city recreation centers and other afterschool Program providers. We celebrate the rich history of chess and Go, and the value that it imparts on the human mind for: Decision Making, Mental/Tactical accuracy, competitiveness, and sportsmanship. We think those very values transcend the game of chess, and that is why we do what we do.
