You can ask any questions you may have about chess itself or how to analyze your games and so on. Sign up and try some games online and learn how to go about playing chess!!!
The games will be held on chess.com and we will use zoom to analyze and talk about each game afterwards. The camera is not mandatory but please make sure the microphone works so that we can chat!

Have a drink and some snacks ready and enjoy some fun talk at the end! You can join for as long or as short as you like and a camera is not mandatory.
