Our Beginner classes are perfect for students brand new to chess. They will meet the colorful characters who represent the chess pieces and learn why each one moves a certain way. Older Beginners will learn at a faster pace, but each beginner track will provide students with a solid foundation and an introduction to chess openings through our “Secret Mission” lesson series.

Our Intermediate classes are for students who have completed our age-appropriate beginner courses and can confidently move all the chess pieces. Students with some chess experience but who are new to Chess at Three’s system will have the option to begin at the Intermediate level as well. In Intermediate classes, children will learn piece valuation, attack and defense strategies, middlegame tactics, and sportsmanship skills as they begin to play more complex games.

Our Mini-Masters classes are for students who can play full games and are ready to explore a check and checkmate in-depth. Mini-Masters begin by learning algebraic notation, a system chess players use to write down their moves for later analysis. This course also covers piece mobility, checkmate patterns, and more complex rules, such as en passant. We will also emphasize grit and perseverance, key skills for any player.

Highly focused on gameplay between students, our STARS Advanced Chess classes are for students who have completed the preceding levels (or have equivalent experience). Students will review famous Grandmaster games, and use data-driven analysis to take their games to the next level.
