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 you have another chance to play. Click here to join the tournament @ 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.

Special Notes:

If you watch The Foundations of Chess you may win a copy of James Eade’s fabulous book Chess For Dummies.

Just watch the video below

Like and Subscribe

And leave a comment for James Eade

And I will pick one comment at random to give them a copy of the book.

BONUS: There is a special ChessHootz for all of you today. It is all for extra credit. The links are on your assignments.

Absolute Beginner

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
