Today was the last lesson for chess. The club will meet on the following days. I'm expecting kids to play the game with proper opening + end game. Middle game in chess is hard as it requires visualization and remembering all the tips what I shared in class.

First Club meet: December 4th 2013                        Club End Date: on-going

Club Timing:

Monday: 2:15 – 3:00

Wednesday: 3:15 – 4:00

I will continue
1. Analyzing the games what kids have played and wrote on the notebook.
2. Provide feedback to kids time to time.

Thanks,
Mr. Dash
