About This Activity
Chess 1 is designed for new students who are interested in learning 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). This class is specifically for students who have not taken a class with Ross in the past. 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. Newcomers are welcome to join the Lower School Chess Club. This class will be taught by Ross Colby.
