Polerio Defense
Chris went over how to respond to the fried liver attack with the polerio Defense. This was really helpful in being able to provide me with more time to do calculations on possible responses and being able to mount a defense and attack later.

Good with teaching a young child
I sat with my five year old who has expressed interest in chess recently during the class. Chris made it very easy for him (and me) to understand the basics of chess.

Super cool and knowledgeable Chess teacher
Chris was super cool and very patient. Hes very knowledgeable about the game and different players from the past. We played a game of Chess and he walked me through my moves, whether good or bad. He let me know about different options and talked me through his moves. I will have him turn my 2 kids into Chess Masters!!!

Knowledgable
Chris did an amazing job in his first chess tutoring session. He made the session very interactive and fun for the kids. Both my kids enjoyed his session and now encouraged to keep on going.
