Winning Chess Strategies

Take your chess to the next level - learn to think like a chess master...

Join Chess Master Pete Prochaska as he shares his straightforward, logical approach to winning chess.  Chess is a complicated, challenging game.  However, many players make it much more difficult than they need to.  Learn how a master evaluates the key elements of a position and uses that understanding to develop winning strategies.  Learn the tactics a master uses to implement those strategies to win game after game.  Each 90-minute class combines instruction--often in the context of the colorful history of this remarkable game--with hands-on skill-building exercises.  Students also refine both their understanding and their skills in weekly tournament games against other class members.  These games are played online between classes to allow more time for these games than is available during class.

Winning Chess Strategies meets Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 -6:00 Pacific time on Zoom.  The 12-week fall session runs from September 18^th to December 4^th.  Course tuition is $295.  If you have questions, please contact us at 503-504-5756 or [email protected] .
