ONLINE CLASSES
We try to make our online chess program as close to teaching in-person as possible. Pacific Chess Academy virtual classes are interactive, fun and instructional; teachers and students communicate with each other the same way they do while teaching at schools. The real-time big chess board allows high quality presentation of various themes; kids can make moves, play against each other, challenge the coach, solve puzzles and play tournament games! They receive assignments to practice at home, and can review all their games to improve playing skills!
MAIN FEATURES OF OUR ONLINE LESSONS:
CLASSROOM: High quality chess lessons. Students are able to make moves on the big chess board in the middle of the screen, play against each other, or against the instructor.
ASSIGNMENT: Chess workouts for practicing at home.
PRACTICE: Practicing playing various positions (mostly endgame) in order to acquire the ability to immediately recognize a pattern.
GAME AREA: Playing chess against friends and classmates. For your child’s protection, this environment grants access ONLY to members of the team. Game History will give parents the opportunity to revise games played by their kids.
TOURNAMENTS: Great opportunity for kids to test their skills playing against various opponents- ALL members of our program. Pairings are generated by computer, and are based on student’s levels and ratings.
Parents can watch live games, and revise them at any time. FINAL STANDING link will display detailed info on each played round, and assigns places and ratings to all of our young participants.
