In this class, we will learn how to read and speak the language of chess, known as algebraic notation. Kids will learn the rules of chess, piece movement and their values. Students will learn about check, the ways to escape a check, and how to win a game of chess by checkmate. Depending on how fast the kids learn, we will learn additional checkmate patterns. Also, kids will play full games of chess once showing understanding of the rules, piece movements, and checkmate.
