Spring Semester Chess Online

SPRNG SEMESTER

The virtual classes offer a lot of new perks:

-Classes will continue immediately after the conclusion of fall semester (will run during December '21, January '22 and February '22).

-Easy access for both kids and parents (No need to drive to the site, everything is already prepared far in advance!)

-We will continue to maximize our state-of-the-art tools to moderate our classes (Muting functions, breakout rooms, sharing tools etc.)

-Many online resources we can use for teaching! (Video lectures, tactics trainers, club tournaments etc.)

Overall, virtual classes allow the student to participate from the comfort of their own home while maintaining the benefits we had from onsite classes. Students are still able to socialize while enjoying chess, yet are able to have a more focused productive session free of unnecessary noise.

Class Scheduling/Levels
ICA provides classes for all levels throughout the week! 

Our afternoon classes (4 pm - 5 pm or 5 pm -6 pm or 6 pm - 7 pm) are one hour sessions and are for levels Beg 1, Beg 2, Adv Beg, and Int 1. Descriptions of each are below: 

Beginner 1 - A student who is just starting chess or has very little experience playing. These classes are great for new players to the game looking to learn the rules and movements with a good foundation. 

Beginner 2 - Students who know all the rules and how to play a game to completion. These classes are for students that are looking to build on their strategy and learn new concepts to apply to their games. 

Advanced Beginner - Students who know all the rules, basic strategies, and have a bit of experience already. These classes are for students looking to hone their skills and perhaps start participating in tournament play. 

Intermediate 1 - Students that either have tournament experience or have already had chess coaching. These classes are for serious players looking to study their chess and work on their game. 

Our evening classes (6 pm - 7:30 pm or 7:30 pm - 9 pm) are 1.5 hour sessions and are reserved for Rated/Advanced students. 

Rated/Advanced - Students that have achieved an official rating of 600+ or have been attending chess classes for 3+ years. These classes are for the most serious students that are regularly participating in tournaments and looking to learn master strategies.
