You say you already know the basics of chess and you are looking for partners to challenge? Chess II is for you. A continuation of Chess I with more emphasis on tactics, tricks and traps. We will brush up on algebraic chess notation, using a chess clock, and playing against computer bots. Each class will include some instruction while allowing plenty of time to play chess against other class members. Tom Mack is a retired elementary school teacher who ran a weekly, after-school chess club for 20 years, including taking students to weekend VA Scholastic Chess League tournaments. He now spends his days with his wife, Lesley, creating, maintaining, and giving tours of their three-acre botanical garden outside Luray. Visitors to the garden may escape the hustle and bustle of life while enjoying a variety of picturesque garden rooms. Google 'Birdsong Pleasure Garden' and contact us to schedule a tour. Tom also spends a lot of time walking their Covid rescue dog, Moon.
