Chess for Summer: Opening Moves
INSTRUCTOR: Carl Haessler LOCATION: Portland Chess Club (Southwest Portland) DATES: Six meetings, Tuesday - Thursday for two weeks, July 22 - 31 TIME: 3:15 - 4:45 PM
		Most chess games are won or lost in the opening moves. Players who understand the ideas of pawn structure, piece placement and the ensuing midgame have a distinct advantage. This class will look at opening theory. You will study closed games, open games and semi-open games. Then develop an opening repertoire to compliment your own style of play.
