Summer Classes...
...are being pondered upon by Jordan. Expect some Dungeons & Dragons
and Chess before the summer is through!
Jordan Stewart has played chess on the Big Island for 27 years. He is a former State Junior Champion, with a U.S. Chess Federation rating of 1910. He has defeated Masters and Experts in tournament play on 'Oahu and the mainland, and played against Grandmaster Boris Gulko at the 1998 U.S. Chess Open in Kailua-Kona.
Jordan started playing D&D in 1979. He has spent hundreds of hours moderating games for his friends, cooperatively creating fantasy worlds for their characters to adventure in. His further creative talents include original sketch comedy, a swords & sorcery-themed screenplay, and he has acted in local theatrical productions, with leading roles in The King & I (as The King), and Man of La Mancha (as Sancho Panza).
Classes
| Beginner's Chess Learn how to play chess! This six-week course covers the complete rules of chess. Students will also learn chess notation, simple endgames, etiquette, basic opening theory, and more. New players are able to play their first games with others who are learning chess for the first time, too. Students will need a pen and a notebook. Chessboards will be provided. |
| Beginner's Chess II Students will learn a basic opening repertoire for both white and black pieces, to have a ready answer for the strongest of their opponent's opening moves. They will also study positions resulting from these openings, pawn structure, common end games, and more. Students will need a pen and a notebook. Chessboards will be provided. |
| Dungeons & Dragons Enter the imaginary world of Dungeons & Dragons! In this six-week session, players create original fictional characters, and roleplay them in a dramatic interactive story. Creative thinking is a must, as players try to outwit cryptic Wizards, and defeat hungry Dragons. Class size is small, with a maximum enrollment of eight students. Moderator Jordan Stewart introduces players to the rules of a game that encourages teamwork, problem solving, and reading skill. Players will need a pen and a notebook. Rulebooks and dice will be provided. (Players are welcome to bring their own, too!) |
