Real stories from real people

Since 2005, Wyzant has provided a way for people to learn any subject in a way that works for them.

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.

Dr. Eugene taught me: How to set up the chess board. Chess notation.
Chris C.

Justin’s knowledge of the game combined with his patient teaching approach make him a terrific chess tutor. Since starting with him a few weeks ago, my chess rating has climbed significantly. We work on everything from chess openings, middle game tactics and strategies, and the end game. I couldn’t recommend Justin any more highly.
