BayAreaChess & Chess University Launch IM-Led Online Classes


BayAreaChess, one of the largest regional providers of high-quality chess instruction and coaching in the United States, is going online to reach a global audience in the convenience of their own home. Starting December 2017, BayAreaChess and Chess University are now offering weekly online classes aimed at players of all ages and abilities starting at the low monthly cost of $49.
 
Open to existing BayAreaChess students as well as players from anywhere in the world, the classes at https://bac.chessuniversity.com will be available at all levels, personalized instruction (students may have their games analyzed), and top-notch coaches. Each class is also recorded, so students can review and watch again at their own pace. With additional homework exercises provided for each class, students will be engaged and encouraged to reach their full chess potential. 
 
BayAreaChess is the largest provider of scholastic chess classes in Northern California, with programs in more than 100 schools reaching thousands of students. It also runs weekend clubs for competitive USCF players, and its large coaching staff includes 5 GMs, 2 IMs, and other masters and FIDE-titled players. BayAreaChess is also the largest US Chess Federation tournament affiliate west of Texas for the last nine years (2008-onward) by number of players.
