Tuesday Intermediate Class (Video Conference)
This class is held via online video conferencing using Zoom.
Below is the meeting invitation for Tuesday’s remote chess lessons at 6:45 pm. 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 so I can see the students.
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 and re-mute when your conversation is finished. Think of it as a “push to talk” toggle.
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 additional remote computers) participate in the session.

We provide free ChessKid accounts for the students who attend our after-school and evening classes and assign the usernames. Students should use your assigned OCA account, not your personal accounts, when playing practice or tournament games during the class.
My ChessKid.com username is “Coach_Josh”. All students will be added as Orlov Academy Club members on ChessKid. Click this to open our ChessKid club page: Orlov Chess Academy Club. After the lesson is over, students should log in to ChessKid.com with your OCA account and play tournament games against one another. I will share the tournament link with the students shortly before the tournament begins.
Thanks, Coach Josh

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.
