Chess class

"Expert 2: This course continues to focus on making tournament players stronger, through game analysis but this time with a focus on spotting advanced positional and strategical concepts in the games. For example, the class will compare the pawn structures of each side and see whose structure is healthier, while figuring out ways for both sides to seize the initiative. Students will start presenting their own games and explain the thought process behind their games, so that the thought process can be examined, including the variations calculated and assumptions made. Calculation is focused on, which will be learned through visualization, and the tree-analysis method. This way, students will learn not only how to find good moves, but how to make sure if they work or not. "
