Chess Tournament Preparation Classes for Intermediate and Advanced Students

We'll be running tournament preparation classes leading up to a number of state championships. The focus in these classes is to prepare students to play in slower in-person tournaments. We'll be covering practical positional and tactical ideas, and working on calculation. The focus is mostly on positions where students need to consider and evaluate a few different options, and spend more than a minute or two thinking.Classes are appropriate for students K-8 who are rated under 1400 USCF, including players who've never played in a tournament before. Students will be grouped by skill. If you're rated over 1400 USCF, you should try out one of our GM classes here.  Some of our coaches include:  WCM Rachelle-Mari Voges Bryan Quick Epiphany Peters FM Gustavo Cadena WGM Dorsa Derakhshani We're using the software Chessable Classroom. If you haven't used it, it's basically zoom for chess!  Classes are 1.5 hours long Wednesdays: 7:00pm-8:30pm ET Sessions: Session A Dates: Feb 12, 19, 26,
