How the Program Works 📝
Students are divided into two groups:
- Beginners: Pawn & Knight
- Experienced: Bishop & Rook
Each group follows its own level-based curriculum. Every class includes:
- A structured lesson
- Supervised gameplay with real-time coaching and feedback
- Rotating opponents to experience different playing styles
Groups switch activities halfway through class so every student receives both instruction and practice.
Skill Placement 🧠
Players of all levels are welcome!
- New students: Complete our optional Chess Skill Assessment or select the closest level.
- Returning students: Select your student’s previous level or retake the assessment if unsure.
Coaches may adjust placement to provide appropriate instruction and balanced games.
Players of any level are welcome to join — we have a place for every student and will pair them according to their approximate level for balanced and engaging games.
Session Tournament 🏆
The session concludes with a 5–6 round timed tournament. The top three students in each group receive trophies or medals, with tie-breakers used when needed.
