Cadet

Being a Cadet is all about learning the basics of chess. Cadets learn how the pieces move and the rules to the games. This includes the following:

  • Board Set Up
  • Piece Movement
  • Check, CheckMate, StaleMate, and Illegal Move

For practice we suggest using the Mayura Chess Program. It can keep notations and use time controls, as well as downloaded for free offline. Just click on the link above.

Upon graduated from the Cadet class, students are able to play a full, legal game of chess. For practice try our Cadet Practice Sheet.
