Below is the Step 1 Lesson for 2/26/24. (MLSNweek2.pdf- bottom left of logo). This week we will review and complete week 1 material. Week 2 we will start a discussion about typical motifs that occur repeatedly. These motifs can occur in the opening, middle, or endgame. We will discuss ideas that help us visualize the board. We will start rudimentary positional evaluation and strategy. We will touch on thinking techniques and the importance of calculation. If time allows, we will look at mating with two Rooks and then Mating with one Rook. These are the 2nd and 3rd basic mates. After the class, I will post a supplement with several positions for calculation practice.
