Rochester Chess Center

  GM Susan Polgar returns as chief instructor for this year's chess camp. The faculty includes GM Dmitry Gurevich, IM Ben Finegold and others.

Small class sizes and top notch instructors make this mini-camp a great opportunity to hone your game. The format allows the instructors to tune each session to the strengths and needs of the students. It's almost like one on one instruction from some of the top names in chess.

New this year! Tournament Directors Camp: Learn the professional tips, tricks, and techniques for dealing with: rules resolutions, registration issues, prize fund distributions, scholastics chess, TD certification, pairing programs, and much more. TD certification credit available to qualified participants! Rule book author NTD Tim Just leads this session. (Afternoon only).

    Here's what some of last year's participants had to say:
  • I liked the small groups with instructors of differing backgrounds.
  • One instructor's idea of having students play a game and taking turns commenting on the moves was very instructive.
  • I liked almost everything: it was exciting and fun to learn. Thank you to all the coaches.
  • It went too fast.
  • Great stuff, great teachers, nice campers, very fun. Thanks!
