NSO Course Catalog

The Intermediate Chess course reviews and builds upon the foundations that were laid in the Introduction to Chess course (a prerequisite).  The course teaches new strategies, how to better begin your chess games, new and more difficult checkmating patterns, how to better finish off your opponent, how to use chess engines to become a stronger player, provides opportunities to analyze chess situations, and also reviews many of the standard chess openings known throughout the chess world.  The course ends with a final project that allows the student to participate in a chess tournament or do their own independent research on a specific chess opening.
