Thank you for your participation in the Piney Branch Elementary School Chess Club! I made this website very quickly, so you can expect more here soon including teaching materials.

Click Here for a letter about a tournament coming up for the kids to play in!. We need to know who would like to participate by 11/25!

Chess Teaching Tools This part of the site is under construction. I hope to have a full series of notes for new chess players.

The Opening

Checkmate!...and how the game end

All homeworks are completely optional! However, they are a valuable learning tool, and as such whoever turns in the homeworks and gets the best scores from each class (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday) will receive a chess-related prize at the end.

Homework 1

Homework 2 was to play a game of chess and write down a game of chess with notation. This link has all the informaiton for how to do notation properly. All homework should be written in notation, so hopefully this will help!
