Chess and Memory Training at the Library

The event Chess and Memory Training at the Library offers you an exciting combination of strategic thinking and learning techniques.

Under the guidance of economist-psychologist Steve J. Gildemeister, you can play chess – from beginner to advanced levels. You will learn that every move has consequences and how to use mistakes to improve.

• For beginners: basic rules, opening strategies, pawn chains, coordination, and the history of chess.

• For advanced players: positional play, gambits, traps, tactics in the middle and endgame, checkmate techniques, chess puzzles, FIDE rules, and etiquette.

• Regular tournaments with a traveling trophy and recognition of winners through photo and name.

• Memory training shows various mnemonic devices and techniques to boost learning, memory, and calculation – especially for children.

• Memory methods: chess notation for blindfold chess, calendar calculation, multiplication tables, names & faces, foreign languages, and alphabet improvement.

The offer takes place regularly on Saturdays. Access to a diverse educational experience full of thinking fun and concentration is free of charge! ♟️
