We help develop an understanding of the game of chess and help players improve whether they are casual or competitive players. Weekly sessions are usually on wednesdays and fridays where we play a lot of blitz/rapid games and some hand-and-brain chess. During tournament/league season, we have training sessions where we focus on theoretical studies and opening preparation.
