Course 2 (ages 9-13)

In Course 2, we reinforce all of the previous content from Course 1 and introduce more complicated game rules and drawing conditions.

Students will begin to discover the fundamentals of chess tactics and combinations and take their game notation. Once a student has completed this step, they will be equipped with all the knowledge and tools necessary to enter their first tournament.

Course Prerequisites: Before taking Course 2, students should complete Course 1 (ages 9-13) or have equivalent experience.

Course Duration: The online instruction will consist of fifteen one-hour instructional classes and ten PLAYLAND! Classes.

During PLAYLAND! sessions, participants can play against different opponents, participating in up to three full games every Sunday from 4:45 pm to 6:00 pm EST.
