Odyssey School is pleased to announce the formation of two afterschool chess classes for grades 1-3 (Beginners) and 4-8 (Intermediate) respectively. We have recruited United States Chess Federation Expert Peter Michelman. Peter has 20 plus years of experience teaching chess in NY and NC. It is well established that chess aids in reading and math skills, critical thinking, logic and creativity, memory and concentration, and even discipline.
The beginner class will focus on correctly moving the pieces and avoidance of mistakes. Students will learn how to write in algebraic notation and keep a legible scoresheet. Students will learn some basic openings, do tactical puzzles and basic endgames. Classes will consist of instruction using a projection system with licess.org and then students playing one another with supervision. Kids should bring a pad of paper and a pen to keep
4th -8th Grade Chess Club with Peter Michelman (4th – 8th):
Wednesday (3:05 – 3:55), January 19th – May 18th
$10 per class/kid (12 student cap)
The intermediate class will review everything in the beginner class and then jump to openings in greater depth, more difficult tactical puzzles and endgames and reviewing actual student games. Classes will also be split up with more time dedicated to instruction on projection systems than playing time.
