Shelby County Chess is hosting a chess camp on Good Friday! Everyone is encouraged to come, whether you are a young beginner or a seasoned amateur.
REGISTRATION
To ensure that students receive an appropriate amount of individual attention from each teacher, space is limited to 20 students. You can reserve your child's spot today by registering below via PayPal.
THE SCHEDULE
*9-9:30 Freeplay: an informal tournament, offering all the campers a chance to warm up and get to know each other.
*9:30-10:15 Giuoco Piano: students will be taught the oldest opening in the game. It is also sometimes called the Bishop's Opening.
*10:15-11 Thematic Tournament: campers will get some hands on practice with the Giuoco Piano as they battle it out in a tournament.
*11-12 Puzzle Time I: our coaches will demonstrate tactical positions in which the student must find the winning move. Campers will be shown examples from all parts of the game - ranging the opening, middlegame, and endgame.
*12-1 Lunch Break: you are free to take a break from chess, relax your mind, and enjoy the company of fellow campers. Students may play handheld videogames during this hour, play casual chess, or enjoy other board games supplied by us.
*1-2 Puzzle Time II: our coaches will demonstrate tactical positions in which the student must find the winning move. Campers will be shown examples from all parts of the game - ranging the opening, middlegame, and endgame.
*2-4 Bughouse Tournament: bughouse was the crowd favorite during our Spring Break Chess Camp, so we will bring this one back due to popular demand!
MISCELLANEOUS
*Students are free to bring a sack lunch or purchase something from Tropical Smoothie.
*Aftercare can be provided on an as-needed basis for those parents who can't make the 9 a.m. drop-off or 4 p.m. pickup. Just contact us ahead of time and we will work something out.
*Students may bring handheld videogames to play during the lunch break, although playing chess is highly encouraged :-) But in many cases it may help him/her unwind from deep chess thinking, so it is allowed during this hour ONLY. Other activities will also be provided by the camp.
*If you have any questions, please contact Sam Brownlow at 901.487.4279
