Fun with Chess with David Rigo (Fridays)

In this class, children ages three and older will be introduced to the wonderful world of chess! We’ll discover the basics of moving the pieces, how to set up the board, strategies for check and checkmate, as well as practice being a good sport, dealing with successes and challenges, and trying our best. Our goal will be that students gain an understanding of the game of chess – and have a great time doing it!

David Rigo has been immersed in the chess world for almost two decades. He started out as an actor, and found that many of those tools were invaluable in teaching the core tenets and values of chess to young people. He specializes in getting newcomers to the game interested in learning more, and getting beginners to the next level. Chess can be a wonderful passport to a world that is bound by no language other than the love of the game. The more you learn, the more fun you can have with it.
