He is very knowledgeable, he comes to the lessons prepared and is very helpful with the learning process. As someone who has never played chess before i found him to be very informative and i think everyone who wants to pursue this craft should try taking tutoring from Ernesto.

7 Chess lessons

I started taking lessons from Walt a few months ago. I have never received proper chess lessons before in my life. Walt's skilled and experienced tutelage significantly increased my skills in an extremely short period of time. The passion that he has for the game and his patience in working with me stirred a passion in me for the game that not only do my wife and I play every night now, but she has also started taking lessons from Walt.
