Who is this curriculum for? This curriculum is the second of two publications designed to help new chess coaches who play a solid game and are willing to teach but aren’t sure exactly where to start. In the first, a handbook called “Teaching Chess to Groups,” we lay out our philosophy of coaching and offer advice on how to manage a classroom and motivate kids to learn.

Here we address the substance of the game with topics arranged in what we believe to be a sensible sequence.

Section 1 is devoted to the rules of the game and a few common checkmates.
Section 2 lays out principles of the opening and suggests a method of teaching them.
Section 3 is devoted to the middlegame and tactics.
Section 4 treats the endgame and refocuses on checkmate.
Section 5 treats tournament play and notation.
