KLC Intensive Training Camp offers a one-of-a-kind tournament-based program designed to cater to students in grades K-12. The camps are structured to provide a blend of learning, play, and enjoyment, fostering an environment where participants can enhance their chess intuition and refine their individual skills.

Through a combination of high-quality instruction, thoughtful evaluation, and supervised gameplay and analysis sessions, students have the opportunity to delve into various aspects of the game. This includes exploration of chess openings, middle game strategies, and endgame techniques.

The curriculum is tailored to cover topics relevant to all phases of the game: Opening, Middle game, and Endgame. Participants engage in a multifaceted approach to learning, which includes studying, playing, critical thinking exercises, teamwork activities, game analysis, and sharing experiences with fellow participants.
