THERE IS AN ERROR ON THE SCHEDULE> OUR GUEST IS ON NOW @ 1:00 PT
Remember: You have until January 4th to complete all assignments.
Thank you for joining us today. Please remember to click on both the links for “JOIN TOURNAMENT” in your group assignments every day to join the tournaments. If you do not join them in advance then you cannot play. Be sure to pay attention after you finish your first game because the next round begins right after everyone has completed the first round.
If you missed the round or had any other issues I am running another tournament. It will begin @ 2:15 Pacific Time
All the chess problems listed are extra. You do not have to do all the problems in one day, or even do them at all. They are meant to fill in time if you happen to finish an assignment and are waiting for the next event to begin.

Absolute Beginner
If you were in the Absolute Beginner group last week, you may want to move up to beginner this week. We will be repeating many of the same videos.
To play versus the computer on Chess.com just click the link and select your opponent. You can scroll to see other opponents other than Jimmy. I suggest starting with Martin(250). Once you have beaten him at least 5 times then you can move onto another opponent.
You can also play live games against other players by going to Play Online or Live Chess
