Chess – the Game of Kings!! No prior knowledge of chess needed. Learn how the pieces move, how to checkmate (win), and chess etiquette. The class will cover the rules, tactics, strategy, a couple of basic openings and the history of chess to include famous players such as Bobby Fischer. Students will play most lessons and there will be a class tournament at the end. There is a $3.00 copy fee payable to the instructor on Lesson 1. Chess sets will be provided for classroom use. But why learn chess? Chess has been shown to improve memory and help protect against dementia. Also it is a great game to play with grandkids.
