Diane K.

1 Chess lesson

We have been having lessons for 6 months now. She is kind and very patient. She is very knowledgeable in various openings, middle and end games, and tactics. Whenever my son has a question, she always has the answer for him. They analyze the game/tournament my son had and discuss how to improve his chess skills. I would definitely recommend her as a chess coach.
Brian G.

1 Chess lesson

Carla is a wonderful chess coach. She is of course brilliant at chess, being a woman grandmaster and Olympian. However, she is also a kind, patient, enthusiastic, supportive, and articulate teacher. The fact I'm lousy at chess didn't bother her, but the fact that I love it made her excited to help me get better. I would heartily recommend Carla to anyone wishing to learn more about chess!
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.
