· Typical checkmate positions.
Then we study various chess situations (check, checkmate, how to put them, how to defend against them), classical compositions of famous masters, interesting cases of draw, the most common moves. Athletes learn the book tactical techniques, the rules of playing openings, etude, endgame, the basic rules of tournaments, international competitions. After mastering the theoretical knowledge, novice chess players move on to game practice. Students solve small chess problems for one or more moves, try to keep a chess record, perform various tasks of trainers, and play small games. At the end of the primary course athletes are already able to play a chess game on their own by all the rules, from start to finish.
Training at the Academy – it is possible to choose a convenient form and time of classes. Chess teaching can take place in groups or individually.
The group classes follow a certain pattern. The standard start is a check of homework, the theoretical material that was announced by the trainer in the previous lesson. Then a new topic is explained, which is consolidated by game practice. To allow each student of the Chess Academy to fully realize himself as an athlete, all chess players are tested before starting classes. Depending on the results shown, students are placed into groups:
· Beginners (for children from the age of 4, beginning chess players who are getting acquainted with chess pieces, learning the basics of the game, getting the first experience of tournament practice);
· Continuing (for those chess players who have already learned the basics of the game, are ready to play all the chess pieces, master more complex tactical techniques and schemes);
· Professional (for chess players at the highest level who take part in international tournaments, are ready to grow and improve their skills, and are able not only to follow the game schemes worked out, but also to build a strategy for the match themselves).

SVETLANA KRASNIKOVA GYMNASTICS SCHOOL

In our school we offer:
· Rhythmic gymnastics, group and individual classes
· Preparation for state sports schools
· Assignment of sports categories
Gymnastics is one of the most popular sports. It comes in: artistic, aesthetic group and artistic gymnastics.
Many of you ask what they are different and what kind is better to choose? Artistic gymnastics involves doing exercises on the equipment and devices, sometimes with music. This is the most traumatic type of gymnastics, as there is always a risk of falling from sports equipment and hard landings. Aesthetic gymnastics is a team sport. Here the girls are not competing with each other but are friends. We estimate the technique of the elements, their beauty, the history of the composition, the synchronization of the team performance and expressiveness, grace of movement. Rhythmic gymnastics is both an individual and team sport. It consists of gymnastic, acrobatic, dance exercises with objects (rope, hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon), accompanied by beautiful music. Gymnastics is rapidly growing in our country. You have a unique opportunity to give your child to become a member of a beautiful and grand sport.
The head of the school, the choreographer of the highest category – Svetlana Krasnikova.
· Honored Coach of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Rhythmic Gymnastics
· Master of Sports of the USSR
