About this Event

"The game of chess is not merely an idle amusement. Several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired or strengthened by it… For Life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with."


– Benjamin Franklin



Course Description:

This course will primarily benefit those students who have little to no experience with the game of chess. While the material will eventually scale in complexity, the overwhelming majority of the course is dedicated to elementary and introductory principles; still, more advanced players will find value in the course too.

This class will range in topics, from the basics of the game to more advanced strategies:

  • Basics: Learn the names of the pieces, how they move, and how to win a game.
  • Tactics: Learn how to identify winning patterns on the board.
  • Endgame play: Learn how to play the endgame, including difficult endgames
