CCL Private Lessons
CCL is a private lesson program, and we occasionally offer chess camps. Siblings are allowed to share lessons at no additional cost. CCL private lessons are only for chess students who commit to improving their game. Our students should take chess lessons because they want them, not just because a parent believes it would be a valuable experience. We expect our students to do some prescribed self-study between lessons and to play in tournaments. Using a computer and chess software in the chess study is highly recommended.
