As a minimum, the participants know the rules of chess and checkmate/stalemate. Preferably, they have already played games with family/friends or online or have participated in their first tournament.
The Step Method workbooks used in this class are Step 1 and 2. I will rely heavily on the Step Method by Rob Brunia & Cor van Wijgerden (60-70%), but I do keep the classes open to other materials, depending on the need of the students. We will also do game analysis.
