Learn Chess – Improve your Game

Every year, the Hart House Chess Club hosts a series of workshops for members who want to learn the rudiments of chess or wish to develop their strategic and tactical skills. Weekly chess instruction takes place at Hart House, and it is open to all club members regardless of experience. Activities include practice games, problem-solving tactics, endgame and middlegame study, and master game analysis. The classes are run by our experienced coaches, and students are assigned to small groups. The atmosphere is very friendly, and the participants are not asked to make serious time commitments. Each time, we will be examining an independent chess theme. As a result, skipping one or a few sessions due to midterms or other school-related commitments should not have an adverse effect on the student’s ability to follow the next sessions.
