Teaching chess since 1996
June 22, 2022 News
Our next regular tournament is:
Friday, July 1
Coach Chuck will host the tournament on July 1. You can register here.
Once again, he will offer an extra prize to the overall first-place finisher. The prize is one of his favorite chess books from his own library: Practical Chess Endings, by Paul Keres. (Anyone who’s come to my classes knows that I feel the endgame is especially important — as you improve and play better players, most of your games will be won in the endgame). Paul Keres was one of the two best players to never become World Champion. This is a hardback copy of the book.
Our next novice/intermediate class is Tuesday, July 5
This series of Game Improvement topics provide pragmatic recommendations for you to use in your games.
This lesson will cover three areas on improving your gameplay.
And because this is an intermediate topic, it also contains an endgame study. Fort Bend Chess Club members have always had the reputation for winning endgames that everyone thought they had already lost.
