| Additional Comments from the Teacher |
|---|
| I am but a student myself of the
teaching methods of the best Chess instructors. Boris Kogan and I
have had 3 students in common over the years, and he was always
gracious to me; to be helpful, compare notes, etc. My
correspondence rating is 2033, My U.S.C.F. rating peaked in 1993
at a 1953 rating. As my students progress, I have recruited some
area National Masters to come in on certain areas ( I had a
master do part of the program at the college). For a copy of my
logo "WARRIORS OF THE MIND" It is posted at the
