Series Details
About
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!
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Do try to make as many sessions as possible, since the knowledge is cumulative. If you are unable to make one for whatever reason you can message me! There is no strict attendance policy, though.

Hi! My name is Max, currently in secondary school (UK). I go by they/them, preferably I speak English and can speak enough Chinese to have a decent conversation, currently learning French and classical Latin + Greek. I'm a chess player, undertale/deltarune fan, and I also like maths & science! :D
