Online Chess Club with MCT!
Chess isn’t just a game; it’s a strategic journey that sharpens young minds and fosters critical thinking skills. In the Royal Fireworks Online Learning Community, we understand the importance of strategic thinking, which is why we’re thrilled to announce that, again this year, superstar educator Michael Clay Thompson is leading a Chess Club.
Chess Club isn’t just about moving pieces on a board; it’s about instilling a deep understanding of the game’s central concepts, introducing students to great names in chess history, and honing students’ problem-solving abilities. Here’s why you should enroll your child in Chess Club:
- Academic Focus: Chess Club offers an academic approach to the game, with reading assignments, checkmate strategies, and an exploration of classic openings. 🏆
- Critical Thinking: Chess sharpens critical thinking skills as students learn to anticipate opponents’ moves, strategize, and adapt their gameplay accordingly. 🧠
- Challenge-Based Learning: Students will embark on a journey through mrT’s Chess Belt system, which is similar to the karate belt system. They’ll tackle specific challenges for each belt color, mastering techniques and strategies along the way. 🎖️
