At the Auckland Chess Centre, we run an Adult Improvers Night on Tuesdays from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
Contact: Brogan – BPowlesland@hotmail.com
We currently have two streams running:
Yusupov Club
We are working through the legendary coursebook ‘Build Up Your Chess 1’ by Artur Yusupov, aimed at improving players with a FIDE rating between 1400 to 1650.
Build Up Your Chess 1 is a 24-lesson chess book, covering everything from tactics to endgames. As we work through the lessons, you will naturally find yourself thinking about more possibilities over the board.
Analysers Club
Looking to analyse your over-the-board classical games with experienced club players? Look no further than here! If there is time, the group will also look at higher-level games and look at themes that can help you improve your chess.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’d like to join!
That’s great! Please let Brogan know in advance – we’d love to have you involved.
Why adults only?
Well, we already have a Junior Night, and we noticed across Auckland that there are already quite a few events that cater towards improving juniors, but few opportunities directed at improving adults.
Improving juniors and adults learn in different ways, and have different strengths. While juniors tend to pick up new concepts quickly, adults often benefit from a more patient approach.
Do you have parking?
Of course! You’re more than welcome to use our car park area.
