All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Sunday, December 13, 2026, 2:00–3:00 p.m. The listing gives a one-hour event window; it describes a 20-minute lesson followed by open play.
The lesson’s subject is not fixed in the listing: Texas Chess Center names strategies, techniques and other aspects of chess as possibilities, then makes room for open play. That broad brief may suit players looking for a mix of instruction and games, but it is not a promise of a particular opening or skill.
The event description gives examples of possible lesson material, but does not identify the topic for this date or name an instructor. Anyone choosing the session to work on one specific technique should keep that uncertainty in mind.
Texas Chess Center says participants can practice what they have learned and play against other people afterward. The listing does not describe a tournament or specify how games will be organized.
