This class will build the foundation for understanding strategy in the middlegame and endgame phases.  Specifically we will examine the importance of using pawns to control space and restrict opponent's pieces, for attacking purposes, as well as breakthroughs in the endgame.  Each session will feature a discussion/lecture period and practice session.

This class is open to beginner adults.  No competitive tournament experience required.
