DSM Chess Advanced Class - Ankeny is a 10 session course starting Sunday, February 23rd through Sunday, May 3rd  (list of course dates below). The class covers concepts to help players analyze positions and utilize advanced strategies. We will focus on getting beyond one move hopeful attacks or mindlessly trading pieces and will work on making moves to gain long term positional advantages. Chess positions have many subtle indicators for players to identify that novice players will not recognize. This class teachers these subtleties and how players can use them to create a concrete plan. This course is for intermediate players who know basic checkmates and opening principles. Minimum US Chess rating of 800 or Instructor Approval required. The course will meet Sundays from 12:00 – 12:50pm. Classes will not meet on April 26th.
