Once in a while, in case a WCF event is held in our Redmond office space on a Saturday, please join us for a make-up session the following Tuesday.
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
