This class will be conducted in-person.
Wednesdays, January 10-February 14 (six sessions)
Join us - beginner or intermediate player - and learn the fundamentals of the Royal Game with FIDE Master and Chess Room Coordinator Paul Whitehead. From the basics of how pieces move and capture, castling, and en passant; to more advanced strategy of checkmating patterns, how to think in the openings, middle-game strategy, and what to do in the endgame. This goal of the class is to open up a new world of fun and joy through the magic and beauty of chess.
