Chess 101: Introduction to playing chess

Feb 29, March 7, 14, 21

From 12 to 1pm. 

Have you ever dreamed of playing chess but don't know how?  Jace Jones, chess instructor is going to provide 4 introductory classes to NEREG patients.  The classes will be held on-line so you can attend from the comfort of your home.  You will just need a computer. 

Class 1: you and Jace will go over what each of the pieces are, how they move and how they capture.

Class 2: will review what was learned in class 1 and then go over "castling," the value of the pieces and show an example game as a demonstration of how the pieces move

Class 3 will go over opening principles (controlling the center of the board, developing pieces, moving pieces to good squares) and will start the discussion on simple checkmates

Class 4 will go over more examples of checkmates as well as simple tactics

Cost: $20 for all four lessons
