Welcome to Elite 1 of Puddletown’s 2024 Fall Training Program! The ELITE program is for advanced players who graduated from our Level 4 program or have equivalent play strength (USCF rating above 1000). The students are required to have basic knowledge of how to evaluate a position and know common theoretical endgames.
Elite 1 is for players with USCF ratings between 1000 and 1300. Join FM Chuck and Zoey on Friday nights and focus on positional understanding of middle games and practical endgames. The goal of the Elite program is for the players to compete at national level and reach a USCF rating of 1400!
