The Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) Sports Committee continues chess classes every Monday and Tuesday for beginners along with Chess Tournaments on the first Saturday every month starting in October 2020.
During class, the students did challenging tactics and reviewed openings. After class, there is always time to play variant games against each other to have the opportunity to practice the skills we have learned in class in a real game. Having learned a variety of skills, the students are improving their visualization, tactic, and position skills.
The GPA Sports Committee continued with another class for beginners. It occurs every Tuesday night. During class, we teach basic information needed to play a game of chess such as what the pieces are called, how they move, and how to set up a chessboard. We reviewed checkmate in 2 positions and pins. After class, the students played games against each other via chess.com.
We will host another Chess Tournament on June 5th, 2021 from 2 to 3 pm EST.
Participants (5/24, 5/25, 2 hours each): Sarah Yan, Erick Yan.
