Tutor: Mandukhai Batbaatar, Candidate Master in Chess
This 12-week chess course is suitable for complete beginners and post beginners as we will
learn how to mate in week 2. In this course we will learn how to PLAY chess? Therefore our
course is mainly based on THEORY and PRACTISE. How cool is that? 45 minutes learning
45 minutes playing. We’ll learn the basics in week two. Then we are no longer complete
beginners. In the middle of the course we would have learned about chess (opening,
middlegame, ending, zugzwang, several gambits and mate in two etc). Due to a once a
week course we will give you the homework yet don’t worry it is just playing chess online.
More practice is better than knowledge. The class is aimed to let students know that playing
chess is more relaxing, easier to learn, an opportunity to socialise, spending quality time
and learning to think before action., etc.
Materials that you will need are:
If you have one, bring your own chess board.
A pen and paper also for notes.
