We are starting our Spring Semester in April 2023. Classes will run for 8 weeks and all times are in MST.

For returning students, please sign up to the same group as in the winter semester. We generally keep the students in the same group for the whole year, so the students advance together within the same group. If you have any questions, please contact us directly.

 

• Beginners Group - Wednesday 5:30 – 6:30pm MST
  This class is for children who are complete beginners or who know only the very basics and may need review. 

• Lower Intermediate Group - Tuesday 5:30 – 6:30pm MST
  This class for children who already know the rules of chess 

• Intermediate Group - Thursday 5:30 – 6:30pm MST
  This class is for children who are comfortable playing full games and know some basic strategy and tactics

• Advanced Group - Tuesday 6:45 – 8:00pm MST
  This class is for children with CFC rating who take part in real tournaments

Groups:
Small groups. Students will be assigned to the groups according to their rating and skill level. Please be aware that space is limited and we operate on a first come, first serve basis.
If you're not sure which group will be the best for your child, no problem, we will help. During the registration process please provide us information about your child (like how many years of experience, if they play online, what their rating is etc). If necessary, we will schedule an assessment prior to joining a group.

​

Lessons & Method:
The lessons will take place via ZOOM + lichess online chess platform. Each participant will receive detailed instructions prior to the start of the lessons and full support from the coach during it. 
We teach using our own method created by our Head Coach - Woman International Master Agnieszka Matras-Clement. Each lesson will consist of a learning segment, where the coach will teach something new, followed by practical application of what has been taught (exercises, practice games etc).

 

Additional activities:
In addition to the lessons, each student will be able to join our tournaments and matches (free of charge!), where they will be able to practice what they've learnt and compete in a friendly environment.

​

Cost:
Beginner and Intermediate Groups: $130 + GST ($136.5)
Advanced group: $140 + GST ($147). This group has longer lessons.
Payments via e-transfer to info@jumpingknight.com or by cheque to Jumping Knight Chess. When sending the e-transfer, please provide the name of a student so we can recognize your payment easily.
