Our annual Halloween tournament will be the final Friday in October. This is always a popular event. There are special goody bags for all of the players. And we have a costume contest with Piada gift cards for the two best costumes. Only players in the tournament get to vote for the best costume (Coach Chuck votes only if there’s a tie.)
New Classes starting this Fall
Level 2 - Principles of Good Moves
I’ve been getting lots of calls from players who know how to play chess and are ready for the next step. Our Level 2 class will begin in October after our Level 1 class finishes. Level 1 teaches all the legal moves of chess, how to record your games, how to checkmate your opponent, and other foundational elements of chess. Level 2 starts teaching principles of what we want to accomplish in our games and how to make good moves instead of just legal moves.
