WHAT IS A BAC MASTER CHESS CAMP?
Master Chess camps are for the advanced USCF rated scholastic chess players. Minimum rating of USCF 800 is required to attend. Master chess camps are taught by professional Senior Staff or Titled Instructors and provide much more complex materials than regular chess camps.
Master Chess Camp includes daily lecture-style lessons, which may require longer concentration and sitting, so as engaged listening, rather than relaxed learning; there will be a number of practice games, tactical and positional chess puzzle exercises throughout the day as well. Daily lectures, exercises and practice games will be alternated with the recesses.
The schedule of instruction is flexible and can depend on coaches' discretion, but may include: calculation training, opening preparation, middle-games, endgames, game analysis etc. The coaches will provide top-level instruction, aiming to challenge the students in an engaging way.
The Camp will also be targeting Tournament-Practice/Play and will host 1 USCF RATED Game in each Block at the end of the week.
