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.

We work on everything from chess openings, middle game tactics and strategies, and the end game. I couldn’t recommend Justin any more highly.
