Winter Chess Camp - 12/7/2019

It’s vacation time and kids feel like improving their games in a fun atmosphere? It's been five years since we started amazing winter camps with bilingual children from 7 to 11. Tokyo Bilingual Chess Club's Winter Chess Camp was held on December 7, 2019 and had 8 students in total who all enjoyed a combination of classroom instruction and playing chess, as well as fun outdoor time with the lunch and snack time!  Two levels were offered, one for students rated over 800, and one for students rated under 800.

The class was full of talented young chess players and was taught by children's favorit TBCC instructor, CM Alex Averbukh.  During the day, basic endgame techniques were covered, building to more advanced concepts.  We had a December birthday celebration that will be lasting a memory.   Party was super fun for our little chess enthusiast and friends.

 

We hope this camp thrives for years to come. It was created to provide full-day care so that parents can leave their children for the day with confidence that camp will be fun and educational. And having multiple levels allows our students to receive targeted training from our level-appropriate and experienced teachers. 

Special thanks to a volunteer teaching assistant, Yuanmin, a freshman of University of Tokyo's chess club. Volunteers are always needed to teach chess in the schools and to help run chess clubs for interested students.  Individuals may also help chess clubs acquire necessary equipment and organize student participation in area tournaments.

Thanks everyone for supporting our programs!
