We are thrilled to announce our partnership with PS 101Q! They are an institution dedicated to building a kinder and more compassionate world through their teaching. The classes are open to all PS 101Q students, from beginner to advanced levels, Pre-K through 5th grade. The lessons plans will be adjusted based on the level of the students.
-
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: The students will focus on the strategizing, thinking process, and have a deep understanding of different openings and endgame techniques.
