| Notes/Terms: | INSTRUCTOR: JON RIGAI DESCRIPTION: The NSCF is proud to announce the return of our small group classes focused specifically on improving student's games in tournaments. There are three levels - Beginner (which is Unrated to USCF 599), Intermediate and Advanced. A USCF rating is required to attend the Intermediate and Advanced classes. Intermediate Group Lessons are especially for active tournament players within the rating range of 600 - 999 USCF. Over the course of 9 weeks of 90 minute classes, Jon will cover basic tactical pattern recognition and how to become a better all around player. Understanding how to reduce blunders in one's own game is critical for making the jump in rating and getting into the Championship section in chess tournaments. Advanced Group Lessons are especially for active tournament players rated 1000 - 1399 USCF. Over the course of 9 weeks of 120 minute classes, Jon will deal with positional and tactical concepts which are quite challenging (5 move combinations and up). The implementation of a chess engine and storing one's games in a database will be emphasized. In addition, Jon will be covering many master level games with an focus on improving the critical thinking process, and understanding how masters handle various positions. Dates: Sept 7, 14, 21, 28, Oct 5, 12, 19, 26, Nov 9 PLEASE NOTE: This is a series of classes. We will not accept students for a single class or on a pro-rata basis. Any questions, please contact Fabiola by email or by calling the office: (914) 683-5322.
