Our Methods and Classes

Education - Not “Enrichment”

• Level of students

• Age of students

• Number of students

• Number of meetings

• Preferences for depth of work. For example, when looking at King and pawn endgames, we could do relatively few endgame positions, or we could cover additional nuances by covering more positions. We could also have the class be more explanatory only, or provide more hands-on examples by allowing the student more opportunities to personally play and experience the endgame.

Players should know most or all of the topics at a level before moving to the next level. The typical price for a class and number of classes is suggested below, but as noted, a class could be expanded for additional sessions and experience-opportunities.

Generally, classes require a minimum of four students to be a “go.”

Location: Classes are typically held at Brick and Mortar in uptown Park Ridge, or the Spring Hill Suites on Higgins Road, or online. Look below for various levels of classes.
