Monthly Themes
January: Pins & Skewers
What’s better than attacking one piece? Attacking two, and this month players will develop strategies for controlling the board through the dual attacks of pins and skewers, then put those skills to use via challenges and gameplay.
February: Middlegame & Pawn Structure
Chess matches are often won and lost via seemingly-mundane moves involving lesser pieces. This month players will focus on winning those little battles, and then see how that practice leads to big wins.
March: Sacrifices & Exchanges
The goal of chess isn’t to keep all 16 of your pieces, but rather to checkmate exactly one of your opponent’s. This month players will develop a keen sense of when to sacrifice and exchange pieces for a larger gain.
April: Checkmates
Most chess matches end in a draw, so this month players will focus on turning their advantages into victories by practicing checkmates.
May: Tournament of Champions
The best part of chess is playing it, so this month players will apply their new skills to challenges and matches with their peers, aiming for checkmates with their classmates.
