Jason F.

31 Chess lessons

Tony has been the perfect chess and strategy teacher and inspiration for Eddie, and has inspired and gently guided Eddie with great intelligence and proper method to a whole new level of play and planning and analysis. Tony's teaching extends far beyond the one hour lesson - he assigns chess problems and historical games to work in between lessons, and has recommended a very carefully selected small library through which he has been guiding Eddie to explore.
Adam T.

17 Chess lessons

My 7 year old (intermediate chess player) son has been working on his chess game with Noah. He loves working with Noah and talking about chess with him. Noah is a great teacher. He is dependable, organized and a good communicator. He puts care into planning his lessons for my son. I know he can take my son to a higher level in his chess playing, as he is teaching him important concepts and strategies and giving him challenging exercises to work on in between sessions.
Debra A B.

4 Chess lessons

I did not know that James taught chess. The first thing we did was to play a game of chess to review my strength and weakness. He attempted to teach me how to count the pieces on the board and what pieces were under attack. Where there other pieces protecting those pieces. Look for open files and diagonal for the rooks, bishops, Queen. Look for good moves and find a the best movie. Look for hanging pieces. Suggested playing live chess a move a day.
