| | Chess /age7+ |
| | |
| | Open to those with basic chess skills. We continue our understanding of all the basics of chess: defining the board pieces, history, how to read and write chess, movement, basic strategy, openings, draws, checkmating, and more!! Studies show that children who learn to play chess early will not only do better in math, cognitive and analytical abilities, but they are
more inclined to develop leadership qualities. Why? Because they learn to think!
Student’s chessboards will be labeled with file-letters and rank-numbers for learning, recording moves, game play. PLEASE NOTE: This is a 2-semester
Semester-1 is primarily instructional and semester-2 will enter game~tournament play during class with further learning.

| | Instructor Bio: |
| | Hi families, my name is Christine Bridges, I am excited to teach and play chess with the students at Palaestra. As a kid, my parents ran the chess clubs for my siblings and I from Kindergarten through my senior year of high school. My first tournament I played in was in kindergarten. As an elementary team we won first in the state two years in a row and placed every year. During my middle school and high school years we traveled around the country playing in the national tournaments. As an adult, I play online and have helped teach friends and family. Chess develops strategizing skills that are beneficial for life! I am excited to help grow these skills and also implement the fun of chess. This is my third year at Palaestra with my two girls, Eva and Emma. |
