Chess

Vendor: Rick Simms

VENDOR FEE $50

$50.00 session fee to vendor, payable on first day of session, cash or check

Our chess program is designed to teach children a fun game and great life principles. Most electronic games, TV and Internet dull our children’s minds, while exposing them to instant gratification, quick fixes and easy answers. Chess delivers the exact opposite. Our instructors teach patience, concentration, planning, calculation, values and more. Hands-on play will bring sportsmanship, strategies and sharp tactics including pins, traps and double attacks. Planning in the opening, middlegame and endgame will offer your child different ideas, concepts and solutions. Notation and the use of clocks for intermediate-advanced players will prepare them for competition tournaments.

On the first day of class parents need to come prepared to pay the instructor directly via cash or check, payable to Rick Simms. A minimum of 10 students are needed or class will be canceled. Chess boards will be provided during class.
