Amaze your friends, impress your opponents, and have fun at Chess Club with professional coaches from Twin Cities Chess Club! In class, students learn classical positions in the opening, middle game, and endgame, building foundational knowledge and learning complex strategy through class demonstrations, regular matches against classmates, and constructive feedback from the instructor. With each class, students will continue to develop strategic thinking, analytical thinking, working memory, and creativity to utilize during chess matches and beyond.
