In this seminar, we’ll explore the powerful skill of setting traps in chess. Often underestimated, setting traps can be a game-changer, especially in losing positions or during time trouble. Zoey will share her personal experiences and other examples to show that chess is not just about strategy or attacks, but also about taking advantage of unexpected moments.

An attack on the castled king cannot be successfully carried out on the basis of the attacker's wishes or 'brilliance' alone, but the essential conditions must also be present. The preconditions are: control of the center; prevention of counter play on the queen side; proper posting of the attacker's pieces; weakening the castled King's defenses. We will discuss these preconditions using examples from classical games.

The Oregon All Stars invites the top 10 students from each age category, as well as Order of the Knight award recipients to compete at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel in Portland!

Cash prizes!
