LIVE Chess Workshop: April 2-May 7

Course Description: Come join the game of kings! Chess is wonderful fun, but it also helps improve geometrical thinking, memory, imagination, and a strategic mindset.

We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Steven Bloom, an experienced player and deeply engaging instructor. This is a wonderful enrichment opportunity to learn (or improve at) the game of chess. It is a six-week program, meeting 1 hour each week, that incorporates strategy concepts, games, exercises, and weekly homework, as well as free opportunities for tournaments.

Meeting Time: Wednesday, 1:00 - 2:00 PM Central
Dates: April 2 to May 7

After completing this course, your student will have opportunities for advanced workshops with Bloomin Chess. A number of Oxrose students continue to study with him.
