All parents attending camps @ Parinama Academy must obtain USCF ID and workboo

USCF – Please visit https://secure2.uschess.org/webstore/member.php and pay $17 for Scholastic 1 year membership to get a USCF ID if your kid likes to participate. (or if you are like me – if you want your kid to participate no matter what the kid thinks!)

Workbook – For our class work we use the workbook –

Chess Tactics for Champions: A step-by-step guide to using tactics and combinations the Polgar way https://www.amazon.com/Chess-Tactics-Champions-step-step/dp/081293671X/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481394099&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=susan+polgar+chess+workbook

Austin Chess Tournaments

https://www.austinchesstournaments.com/events – This is where we will find all chess tournaments we want to attend

During the chess tournaments always lookup for the kid playing against your kid to get insight into their experience and level by keying in Last name,first name of the kid playing against your kid at http://www.uschess.org/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,181/ 

It is imperative to understand the experience of the other kid and not just their rating

We love to make your Kid smarter than your Neighbor’s kid!
