Christmas GrandMaster Camp
All camps are conducted online for your safety.
GM Alex Yermolinsky, 2-time US Champion, in attendance
Grandmaster Alex Yermolinsky is a great chess player, established online chess commentator, analyst and well-known chess coach who worked in many scholastic chess camps around the country. He brings years of teaching experience and knowledge.
Each camp features tournament games immediately analyzed by a chess master. 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.
The camp will focus on the modern attacking game:
- Building up your attacks
- Creating space for your attacking pieces
- Maintaining stronghold in the center
- H- and G-pawn push
- Rook lift
- The English Attack against the Sicilian – the pawn storm
- The Isolated Queen Pawn – attacking with the pieces
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 from Moscow, Russia. This camp has GM Alex Yermolinsky in attendance!
Dates: Flexible!
This Christmas Break Camp is a four-day series, Monday – Thursday.
Choose one or more full days in any combination: Dec 21 – 24.
