- teach students how to use an engine like Stockfish to help them prepare more confidently for openings in tournament games and to learn from their mistakes in previous games (post game analysis)
- exercise new ideas—take what we study and apply it with occasional blitz practice games to lighten things up— chess is a game, we should remember to have fun!
