1 Chess lesson

Brian taught me about en passant, mating the opponent's king with just a queen and a king. He also taught me about king-side and queen-side castling We also reviewed beginning game moves and talked about strategy. He was also kind enough to write down for me resources where I could learn more about chess and practice my game. During my meeting with Brian, I felt like he did all he could to help me improve.
