Online Chess Club Lesson Description (First half of the class):
Students will meet on Zoom while I screen share my virtual chess board. I will be examining world champion openings, ideas in the middle game, end game patterns, tactical motifs and elements. Students can use their own boards to recreate the lesson in 3D, record notes, and/or simply follow along on the board I will be sharing to their devices.
Online Chess Club Description (Second half of the class):
The tournament is an arena format which allows students to play as many games as possible before the hour is up. In real life tournaments, children must wait until everyone has finished their games and are only given a set number of games to play. This opportunity provides students with an opportunity to play as soon as a new match is made available. Less waiting and more playing! Additionally, games will be recorded by the computer allowing students to review them afterwards.
