Scholastic Chess Workshops – All Levels



Learn to play the game of chess!  This is for players that want to learn new strategies and ways to win as well as other chess “secrets”.   Beginners are also welcome (those that do not know how to play at all).  You will learn all the basic moves of the chess pieces, their values, piece interaction, and how to win (checkmate).
