About Course

In this live and interactive course, students who are thorough with the beginner level will move into greater depths of the game. You will learn various tactics and strategies, learn how to calculate variations and improve their game. There will be some topics common to both beginner and intermediate level, but the latter will be more challenging.  

Intermediate players should be taking the steps to develop a consistent approach and see that "planning" in chess begins from the first move. An intermediate player should be able to recognize most "main line" chess openings, even if he/she hasn't yet mastered them.

After grasping the opening concept, you will learn about tranposing into one another. You will learn to recognize how and where transpositions occur in your own most commonly used openings. You will, by now understand the general plans associated with each position and pawn structure regardless of the move order used to get there.

The main learning in this is approaching the opening and the transition into the middlegame. You will also learn the pawn structures that dictate the plans of every position before we try to memorize opening theory.
