Middle School Chess Club (BEFORE school sessions) (gr. 6-8)

Whether you consider yourself a beginner or intermediate player, join this club and interact with other chess players in your school and play on a weekly basis. Players will learn the basic rules and strategies of chess if they are new to the game. If you are an experienced chess player, you will receive advanced-level instruction to bring your game to the next level.

These are some of the outcomes expected:

• Players can complete a full game (checkmate) or recognize a stalemate
• Players can set and use a chess clock during a game
• Players can resolve disagreement with & without adults present
• Players can explain the rules of chess (movement of the pieces, checkmate & stalemate)
