Course 3 (ages 9-13)

Once our students have learned all the basic concepts, they embark on a new adventure: the world of tactics and strategy!

In Course 3, our main focus is pattern recognition and introducing tactical themes such as "double attack" and "pin" to our Girl Bosses. By the end of the course, our students will also get a glimpse of the different strategic elements of chess.

Course Prerequisites: Before taking Course 3, students should complete Course 2 (ages 9-13) or have equivalent experience.
