FOREST HILLS AFTERSCHOOL CLASSES
The classes are open to beginner to advanced levels from ages 5 to 13 years. The lesson plans are tailored to each student’s skill level, ensuring continuous growth, tactical mastery, and tournament readiness.
-
For beginner levels: The students will learn the basics of chess and build a solid foundation needed to move ahead - from the movements and values of the pieces, to tactics and different checkmate patterns.
-
For intermediate levels: The students will have a better understanding of the patterns, tactics, and principles in the opening, middle game, and end game.
-
For advanced levels (See Thursday Class Program): The students will focus on the strategizing, thinking process, and have a deep understanding of different openings and endgame techniques.
* Please fill out the form at checkout to indicate the level. The participants will be grouped and divided based on their levels (the coaches will also do an assessment to ensure the participants are in their appropriate group) and whenever the kids are ready to be "promoted", we will automatically move them up to the next level.
* Entrance is on the side door on the 71st Ave side, white door
* FREE PICK-UP AT PS 196Q
