Beginner

Learning the basics. How do my pieces move and where are they strongest/weakest? What are the special moves and how do I promote? How do I close out a game and many more questions.

Intermediate

This is where the real fun begins! At this stage we learn about the most common endgames and tactics as well as basic opening theory. The most frequent tricks and traps are also introduced here. As a bonus we also practice chess notation and how to solve puzzles.
