Join us at Flying Minds for an exclusive 3-hour fun chess workshop with National Arbiter Bijan D. Shafa
This event is for novice kids and parents alike and serves players who know how the pieces move, how to set up the board, and what check and checkmate mean.
After the workshop you will know answers to the following questions:
- What pieces do I move first and where in the start of the game?
- How do I stop losing all my pieces so fast, and what do I do if that happens?
- How do I win once I have more pieces than my opponent?
Check in at 3:45pm Saturday March 28th
Event starts sharp at 4pm
