The Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) continued chess classes every Monday along with Chess Tournaments on the first Saturday every month starting in October. During class, the students reviewed a very famous 8 move chess game, and the difficulties if you do not play an opening right. After class, there is always time to play games against each other to practice the skills we have learned in class in an actual game. Having learned a variety of skills, the students are improving their visualization, tactic, and position skills.
GPA has continued with another class for beginners. It occurs every Tuesday from 7 to 8 pm. During class, we teach basic information needed to play a game of chess such as what we call the pieces, how they move, and to how to set up a chessboard. We went over the rook roller checkmate and learned how to checkmate with only one queen. After class, the students played games against each other via Chess.com
GPA will host our next Chess Tournament on December 5, 2020 from 2 to 3 pm EST!
Participants: Sarah Yan (11/30, 2 hrs; 12/1, 2 hrs), Erick Yan (11/30, 2 hrs; 12/1, 2 hrs)
