In this foundational class, students understood the rich history of chess, from its origins to its evolution into a global game of strategy and intellect. Participants also were introduced to the key chess pieces, learning their names, roles, and the basic movements they command on the board.
In our second class, students revisited the names of each chess piece before diving into their specific placement on the board. The session also focused on how each piece moves, providing a understanding of basic chess mechanics. This class is built upon the foundation laid in the previous lesson, bringing students one step closer to mastering the game.
