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.
GPA continues classes every Monday along with Chess Tournaments on the first Saturday every month starting in October. During class, the students looked at games played in Russia from the Chess World Cup. After class, there is always time to play variant 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 started a summer camp for beginners. It occurs every Tuesday night. During class, we reviewed the 4 opening principles and the Italian opening, along with learning the 3 ways how to get out of check. After class, the students went on their chess.com accounts and played games against other classmates they didn’t play before.
We will host another Chess Tournament on September 4th, 2021 from 6 to 7 pm EST.
Participants: Sarah Yan (8/10, 2 hrs), Erick Yan (8/10, 2 hrs).
