2024, August Summer Camp
This weekend camp focused on...
2023, August Summer Camp
This three-day camp dedicated to intermediate and advanced players covered the topics of prophylactic thinking, attack and defense, conversion, and practical endings. Students were given exercises from high-level games and encouraged to imagine themselves in their opponent's shoes, finding ways to practically and psychologically disturb their competitors. Despite the concepts being fairly advanced, students were able to participate, ask questions, and find interesting solutions to the problems posed (even valid alternatives to the gameplay!).
2022, November Weekend Camp
This weekend-long camp was designed to give fairly new players exposure to the game and its richness. We garnered massive interest in the camp and nourished engaged, young minds. We saw students from Canada, India, the Netherlands, and the United States. We hope to see these students excel as they continue to learn more about the game.
2022, August Summer Camp
In this camp, we had a small group of unrated players interested to learn more about the basics of the game. They studied checkmating patterns and opening principles. $200 in proceeds were donated to VTSeva for the education of blind and tribal students.
2022, July Summer Camp
This camp marked the first ever Fighting Knights chess camp, which was held free-of-cost! We had a wonderful turnout with students of a variety of ages and skill levels. Students learned about the wonders the game had to offer: its complex middlegames, exciting endgames, tactical flares, and so much more!
