To register KLC GATE program classes, students must fill the registration first (for KLC current and previous enrolled students only). Registration deadline 8/1/2023. We will evaluate the students on the registration list.
The USCF OTB rating May - July is one of the criteria for practical tournament skills and performance evaluation. There are also other general evaluations like class performance, kid’s chess enthusiasm and goal, parents fully support, and how much time is available on Chess training and practice/tournaments, etc. The program will start in August. Coach Kiki will send invitation in early August if a student is qualified. Then we will communicate with student and parents.
