DESCRIPTION:Grandpatzers free chess lessons on zoom\nStarting August 21\, 
 2023\, we will meet only on Mondays. I have not been able to eliminate the
  Tuesday meetings from the Meetup schedule. Fortunately\, chess is easier 
 than figuring out how to manage Meetup meetings. Sorry for the confusion.\
 n\nThis is part of a series of chess lessons for adult beginners and novic
 es. When a rank beginner joins the group\, I offer a free private lesson v
 ia Microsoft Teams to cover the basic rules\, piece movements\, opening pr
 inciples\, and middle-game tactics. After a quick orientation\, the new me
 mber joins our free weekly group Teams meetings in which we reinforce and 
 practice the opening principles and middle-game tactics as well as occasio
 nal end-game ideas. We begin each lesson by discussing one or more games--
 either my own games\, class member games\, or occasionally master games. W
 e discuss how the games illustrate the points covered in our lessons. Then
  we usually play a game among ourselves\, with the class members taking tu
 rns making moves which the group comments on. From time to time\, I invite
  a guest speaker to describe a specific chess opening for the group. I wel
 come class members to send me the games they have played on chess.com or l
 ichess.org\, and I provide them feedback. The goal of the lessons is to gi
 ve members a basic understanding of chess and to improve their skill level
 .
