BCS Advanced Summer Camp with IM Josiah Stearman Morning 9am-12pm

Join our fantastic Summer Chess Camp! 

Our summer camp will be fun, engaging and challenging! You can meet new friends who share
a love of chess while improving your game and learning new strategies. 

Our wonderful Berkeley Chess Center will provide a spacious and airy location for our camp,
with a large playground for lots of outdoor activities (weather permitting). Masks will be optional.

This Camp is for advanced chess students. Lectures will include very advanced tactics, and positional play. USCF Tournament history, and an USCF rating around 1000 or higher is strongly recommended.

Week 1 Theme: Planning ~ "Failing to plan is planning to fail" - Alan Lakein 
Week 2 Theme: Tactical Vision ~ "Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others" - Jonathan Swift

On top of a structured themed based camp, campers will get a glimpse into International Master Josiah Stearman's personal chess experiences. Coach Josiah started learning at the Berkeley Chess School when he was five years old, and knows what it takes to make chess dreams a reality! Training modules will include (but are not limited to) select games with step-by-step analysis, advanced puzzle training, organized training with peers, and one-on-one interaction with Coach Josiah! 

We hope you will join us this Summer!
