M&B Chess Classes
Afterschool Chess Clubs: Students will have a weekly chess lesson geared toward their skill level in a classroom setting, just like a school class with students raising hands. After the lesson, students will play chess with each other using an organized system based on skill level.
Mini Knights 3-6 year old class: Students will learn the basics of chess and the rules in a classroom setting with a coach who excels at teaching younger children. After the lesson, students will play chess with each other using an organized system based on skill level.
Adult and K-12 Advanced Class: USCF National Master Jason Garfield will be scheduled to teach this class and will start each class with a 30 minutes lesson focusing on tactics, endgames, and strategies that the students need to learn. Then the next hour will be a rated USCF Game in 30 Tournament with a Trophy for the winner at the end of the session. Then the final 30 minutes will be a game review so students get immediate feedback on how they did in the tournament. Active USCF Membership Required.
