Panda Chess Academy

Chess camp tomorrow through Friday, 9:00am to 3:30pm at Panda Chess Academy.

Two National Masters coaching all week, Jeffrey Ashton and Arsal Gardezi, plus Anish, a former student and now a 1832 rated high school assistant. Small groups this week, so every student gets plenty of individual training.

We have been running camps in this building since 2008, over 100 of them now.

Also this week: extra computers so students can try ChessBase and other serious training software, optional during lunch and break times.

Beginners through advanced.
