About This Activity
Chess 2 is designed both for students who recently have learned the rules of chess (e.g., how to move the pieces; the relative value of each piece; and the meaning of check, checkmate, and stalemate) and for more experienced players who already know about center control, development of knights and bishops, and king safety. Thinking BEFORE touching is our number one priority. We will ask ourselves, "What is my opponent trying to do?" and "What is going to happen to my piece if I go there?" The emphasis is not on winning, but on having fun while learning one of the world’s oldest and most popular games. This class is for students who have taken a class or previously participated in a chess club with Ross. This class will be taught by Ross Colby.
