Orlov Booster Saturday, Redmond

Booster Classes are perfect for beginners that have played some chess, know the moves, have played a chess tournament, and could use some direction to become an Intermediate player.

Once in awhile, in case of WCF events held in the same space on Saturdays, we will meet on Zoom.
In the rare situation this Booster class is held online, we will use ChessKid.com. I’ve created free memberships for people. Students may use these accounts to practice their chess and play games as much as they like! These free accounts allow them to play Fast Chess games, solve 3 daily puzzles, access beginner content, read ChessKid articles, and play against the infamous Bots. If you would like full, unlimited access to the whole site with all of its bells and whistles, consider upgrading to a Gold membership.
Thanks, Coach Orlov

Below is the meeting invitation for Friday’s remote chess lessons. To join the meeting, click on the link below following the “Join Zoom Meeting”. You can connect by laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Please use a webcam setup so I can see the students. You’ll probably want to arrive a few minutes early and test your microphone and camera.
Kindly remind students to hold questions and comments during my lesson until I open the floor for discussion. Allow one student to finish their thoughts before jumping in. This will reduce interruptions and maintain the integrity of the chess session.
It is good practice to mute your microphone until you talk to reduce background noise. Press the space bar to talk and release to re-mute when your conversation is finished. Think of it as a “push to talk” button.
Parents, we appreciate your help getting your student successfully connected with this technology in our online lessons. We request that no extras (relatives, observers, or remote computers) participate in the session.
New Students: If you are a new student joining our Zoom class, please do two things in advance. First, email Coach Orlov and request the Zoom meeting password. Second, we use Chess.com with our Intermediate classes so please set up your free Chess.com account and then search for and join our Orlov Chess Academy club. This also allows you to practice your chess and play games as much as you like! Plus, you can participate in friendly online Orlov club tournaments. For full unlimited access to the whole site with all of its bells and whistles, consider upgrading your membership.
Thanks, Coach Orlov
