Rebel Royalty Chess - Intermediate Group A

Rebel chess for intermediate players is in-person chess class centered around enhancing foundational skills to players who have played before but are looking to grow. There is no age limit, and classes are taught in Virginia Beach. Players will learn basic and intermediate openings, tactics, notation, game analysis and checkmate patterns. Each session will feature 1- 2 tactics, puzzles to solve and game play. They will understand how to apply tactics to game play while exercising critical thinking, mathematical comparison and taking notation. All materials will be provided, and we will have a tournament at the end of the season!

My name is Lina Matos Ragin and I am a former educator and administrator. Before I jumped into the classroom, I taught and coached chess in NYC public and charter schools. My classes began in kindergarten and went through 8th grade. In this role, I wrote and developed original chess curriculum and field studies that are still used today!

I have seen so many success stories from students who gained confidence in themselves, an increase in patience and respect amongst peers, and an increase in academic stamina and focus. I am happy to be able to offer chess as an outlet, and look forward to meeting you and your family!
