Halloween 2020 may be a lot different, as trick-or-treating is not advised in Toronto and other hotspot areas.
CIC is inviting all ghosts, zombies, mummies, and jack-o-lanterns to some special spooky online chess clubs this Saturday!
Future Zombies 2
- 11:00 am ET
- with Nick
- for kids in grades 3-6
- $15
Nick’s Future Masters 2 class focuses on positional chess, discussing the importance of pawn structures and how to develop pieces to the best squares in different given positions. More complex endgames such as King-Pawn endgames will be explored.
This Saturday he’s doing a special Halloween edition. The class is full, but extra drop-ins are welcome. Don’t forget to wear your costume!
A curious evening for chess
- 8:00 pm ET
- with Rose
- for ages 8 and up
- $15
A chill wind blows,
building creeping melody
bough by bough,
warping bird song and shadow;
ushering leaves
from their branches
to their end.
Somewhere else a pawn feels
a cold path traced
around its crown
while a player
catches a chill
mid-move.
This Hallowe’en,
a spooky occupation
lingers around the hallowed
arena of the chessboard.
With Rose as our guide
we’ll hopefully make it out alive.
Costumes and dress-up are encouraged!
