Learning outcomes by level
What students work on next.

Build the foundation
Learn piece movement and core rules, including castling, promotion, checkmate, and stalemate. Practice board vision, basic mating patterns, simple tactics, and introductory pawn endings.
Strengthen decisions
Build comfort with notation and different time controls. Work on opening principles, tactical themes, mating patterns, king-and-pawn endings, and a more deliberate thinking process.
Prepare for deeper play
Study calculation and strategic themes such as pawn structure, open lines, key squares, exchanges, defense, prophylaxis, and maneuvering. Review mistakes and practice tournament-relevant decision-making.
