Event Details

Playing the game of chess offers players a unique opportunity for lifelong learning including strategy, tactics, and concentration. Each week, chess instructor Dwight Ford of Anatoly Karpov School of Chess will support players with handouts and encourage the use of strategy through instruction before club play. While playing, you will learn common patterns, how to methodically build a position, set traps, and analyze variations depending on your level of play.

 Instructor Dwight Ford is the current President of the Anatoly Karpov School of Chess in Lindsborg.  He helps with teaching kids and adults beginning chess fundamentals and tactics. He manages the "Social Chess Hour" in Lindsborg on Monday evenings for adults and is a volunteer with the Salina Area Chess Club. He teaches a tactics class in the fall for middle school-aged youth.
