This course will offer an overview of chess concepts for players who already have a basic understanding of how the pieces move and the rules of chess. We will cover the three main phases of a chess game: the opening, the middle game and the endgame, with attention to both principles and tactics – how to assess your position and choose a plan. Classes will include game play and exercises against each other and together against a computer. Please bring a game board and chess pieces to class.
