This class is ideal for teaching complete new comers to the game. At the end of the course, trainees can expect to have a complete overview of the rules of chess, a rudimentary understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each chess piece, basic checkmating patterns, fundamental tactical motifs and many more. Trainees can also expect to play a complete game of chess with confidence.

Our focus for this course is to help new comers appreciate the beauty of the game and therefore, the lessons are expected to be fun and engaging. We will also provide guidance on general etiquette and lessons on sportsmanship during the course.

Please note that students will undergo an assessment during the last lesson. Students shall be promoted to the next level (Elementary) if they pass this assessment.
