Chess is a magnificent game that teaches many skills such as patience, discipline, logic, and planning.  Life-long chess player and Woods parent Kevin Mahoney would like to bring the joy and the challenge of this game to Woods Charter in the form of a Beginner’s Chess Class, open to aspiring players in grades K-8.  

In this class, students will learn everything it takes to play this royal game of Kings and Queens including:

• Setting up the board
• Learning all the pieces and how they move
• Discovering the special rules
• Studying basic strategies 
• Getting the chance to play others with similar skills level

Many previous Chess Class graduates have joined the Woods Chess Club. Are you ready to join the Knights of the Square Table for its next session?  We have chess sets for our students to use, so you need not buy one for the class.
