Chess · Step 4 of 4

Strategy & Competition

Grades 6–8 (ages 11–14) · 8 weekly classes · 60 min · up to 8 students · live online

Students move from spotting tactics to building plans: an opening they understand, a middlegame strategy and the endgames every strong player knows. They review their own games, play with a clock and prepare to compete.

Your child will be able to

  • Choose a plan from the pawn structure
  • Win king-and-pawn endings
  • Play with a clock and review games
