Join our five-day chess camp over Mid-Winter Break in Seattle!
The camp is held Monday – Friday on February 17 – 21, 2025!
We teach openings, strategy, middle game and endgame lessons. The camp features tournament games immediately analyzed by a chess master. Students are arranged into groups by skill level.
Other activities include solving fun chess puzzles, learning cool openings, solving tricky tactics, mastering fundamental endgames, and playing casual games between students! We may separate into a second group with its own coach if the skill levels and ages require it and there are enough students.
All camps are attended or conducted by International Master Georgi Orlov, 1994 US Open Champion, USCF Rated 2540, with a 4-Year Chess Education degree. Also featuring NM Joshua Sinanan!
Open to all students in grades K-8, from Beginners to Advanced. We love beginners. However, knowing how the pieces move is required. ChessKid videos how to play chess and an introduction to chess are great!
