N.B. This is a series for beginners! That might be around below ∼1000 elo on chess.com and below ∼1400 or so on lichess We'll work through the basics of how to play chess, and also build a few beginner skills! There will be lectures, exercises for the whole group, and a tournament to wrap up the whole series! No prior knowledge is needed, and if you'd like, I can host a few extra "office hours" sessions where I can go over any of your questions! The only requirement is that (if you plan on joining the online tournaments) you sign up to lichess.org which I highly recommend doing so anyway. There may be some small homework, but that will be optional, and simply just a few quizzes that you will get feedback for after!
