How a first lesson works
Nobody starts with a test.
Tell us who is playing
Age, how long they have played, and what they would like from it. A few sentences is plenty.
Come for a free placement
Twenty minutes at a board with a coach. We play a little, set up a few positions and talk. It is not a test, and nobody is graded.
Start in the right group
We suggest a class or a private lesson that fits, and you decide. Move groups later if the first one is not right.
Fridays, 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Pull up a chair on Friday.
Boards and clocks are set out, and a coach walks the room to answer questions. Play a friend, a stranger, or a coach. Five dollars at the door.
