| I'm an average talent who started late in chess and reached my rating's goals. The journey I completed is similar

relate to your challenge.
I also have extensive experience working with children both as a chess teacher and caseworker. |

| : I run elementary school chess clubs, and teach privately students from novice to master level. I believe that tactics are best learned from books and software (and play), but that everything else can be learned much more rapidly from private instruction. I have forty years of experience teaching chess and competing in high level tournaments.

| Additional Comments from the Teacher |
|---|
| I have formed Kurzdorfer's Chess
Service in order to help almost any chess player in the US or
Canada improve his or her game. I write a new "Guide to
Master Chess" each week and offer a free tournament set and
board along with my Basic Chess Course. My small but growing
discount store offers low, low prices. Besides offering Private
Correspondence Lessons through the US mail or e-mail, I am the
official game analyst at the annual USA Junior Chess Olympics and
Pennsylvania State Scholastic Championships. I offer this service
at your tournament as well. I teach classes in basic and advanced
chess at the Chautauqua Institution each Summer. I also lecture,
analyze student games, direct tournaments, and play simuls in
your area with my workshops as well as doing much the same thing
at all three Castle Chess Camp locations. My students have won
championships at the state and national levels and big money
prizes at national tournaments, and many parents, school
teachers, and administrators have praised my teaching ability. |

| I will gather as much information as possible from the student: games he has played, his ambitions as a chess player, why he likes chess, the amount of available time he can spend on chess, the software he uses, etc. I will thus get a better idea of his student's true strength and potential and a training program will be created to suit his level and needs. It's basically a matter of developing the right kind of relationship between the coach and the student |

| My primary teaching technique is to ask a series of questions that are intended to lead the student to realizing a particular concept. This approach imparts a deeper understanding of the game than if the concept were just recited to the student. |

| I am a 49 year old man, 44 of them
being in chess (half professionally : my main profession is
physics).Graduated from Tbilisi chess school of olympic reserves,
I have a plus score against some players who later become
Grandmasters. My major chess achievment is second place at the
"Dinamo" youth championship of the USSR in 1967 (first
was Anatoly Waiser, now an International Grandmaster). I am still
l active in Georgian chess, participating in local
events,including Georgian championships. |

| I have designed a complete system
based on Steinitzian principles, incorporating American
contributions from Alburt, Byrne, Benko, Rohde, and Benjamin's
CHESS LIFE articles, and games. I traveled for years with IM
Boris Kogan and have used his wisdom to teach a US Amateur
Champion, a 2500 student, and others on the Top 50 List. I have
required reading, homework, and a system to help any person
improve on their own, with only general guidance after the first
dozen or so lessons. I recommend BOOKUP and any good playing
program. I have a huge database and can bring anyone into the
21st century. I have beaten most of the top players, Fedorowicz,
Rohde, Wolff, Igor Ivanov, Christiansen, Shirazi (4 times),
Sagalchik, and Hracek and can help you get higher-rated scalps
with aggressive fundamentally sound chess. |
