All Panda Chess Academy tournaments are official United States Chess Federation events. Players who participate in them require a United States Chess Federation (USCF) membership. A USCF membership is required to enter almost every chess tournament in the United States. For more information visit: http://www.uschess.org.
Do you offer group classes or private lessons?
I (Jeffrey Ashton) offer private lessons but my schedule has been busy lately. I am happy to refer parents to good coaches.
We have two group classes on Sundays.
4:30pm Advanced
5:30pm Intermediate
I usually recommend private lessons for beginners to make sure they know all of the rules.
I also highly recommend www.chessmagnetschool.com for beginners-advanced players. When signing up, use the classroom code: only68 if you wish for me to see how your child is doing. The 30-day free trial is enough for most players. The classroom code helps me as a coach. This way I may be able to offer some feedback in the future when the parents have chess questions. Please note that I am in no way affiliated with chessmagnet.com and I simply recommend them because I like their product.
