| By applying the system I teach a student can achieve quick and steady improvement. Saving years of trial and error. Many students that I coach are now or have been among top 50 in their age group in USA. They have won State , Regional , and National Titles. I have been playing rated chess since 1969 , coaching for over 20 year , and have been rated as high as 2122. I have won the Missouri State Class A ('84) and Expert ('95)Titles. |
