The following is being shared on behalf of NM Natan Prilleltensky, an invitation to participate in what looks to be an incredible chess camp experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am working with some of the best-known coaches in the country to offer two sessions of online summer chess camp: The first session is August 3rd to 7th, the second is August 10th to 14th. The staffing of the camp makes this a unique learning opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strongest students rated 1500+ will work with Grandmaster Alex Stripunsky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alex is former coach of the US Women’s National Team and personal coach to elite young players through\u00a0the International Master level. Alex has won or tied for first in numerous world-class events, including the US Championship and the World Open.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the morning sessions, Alex will be teaching theoretical material, according to the lesson’s theme. Afternoon sessions will be dedicated to practice. Students will either solve exercises or play special training positions.
Students rated 1000-1500 will work with me and Elizabeth Spiegel.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elizabeth is the famous many-time national championship winning coach of IS318k featured in the movie “Brooklyn Castle”. She is also an accomplished player who competed in multiple US Championships.\u00a0 They will also have the opportunity to work with me and Elizabeth Spiegel. 12:00 PM – 2:45 PM: Lunch Break – kids should go outside and step away from their screens to prepare to focus again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Practical Component – tournament games, analysis, etc. Each student will receive individual recommendations for further study – our goal is for them to be inspired to continue their chess journey with renewed dedication.\u00a0 The following is being shared on behalf of NM Natan Prilleltensky, an invitation to participate in what looks to be an incredible chess camp experience: I am working with some […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1427"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1428,"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1427\/revisions\/1428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/vassar-chadwick.com\/club\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
<\/em> I am a National Master with an academic background in Gifted and Talented Education. I have coached numerous students who\u00a0qualified to represent the United States in the World Youth, and multiple school programs that won National Championships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em> Elizabeth and I will focus on typical middlegame strategies students can apply in their own games, including but not limited to: * Open Files
* Opposite Colored Bishops * Bishop vs. Knight * Typical Pawn Structures * Attack on the King * Initiative * Sacrifice <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intermediate students will also have the opportunity to work with Grandmaster Alex Stripunsky.\u00a0
Students rated up to 1000 will work with Paul Swaney, a US Chess expert and superb classroom teacher whose school programs have won multiple state titles in Virginia.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The schedule for a typical day is as follows:
