| I won a gold medal on the second board of the Canadian women's team in 1984 at the chess olympics. I teach chess to children since twenty years (Montreal chess association "Echecs et Maths" trainer for the young champions of Alsace in France).Even though I played sometimes in the Olympics I have the same opinion than the Polgar sisters and believe that young girls have to play in mixed tournamants to improve their play.I don't like segregation in chess. |

terms of serious tournament training, be sure you sit down with
your selected coach and work out a lesson plan/schedule together

I am not a titled chess player. What I am is an excellent teacher with a great love for the game. I have helped numerous beginners and novices from age 6 to 60 learn the game and improve their play. I have my share of club trophies and have won prizes in national events in my class. But what I treasure most is seeing the light of understanding grow in the eyes of the students I have taught -- and then to see them succeed in putting that understanding to work in their games. I teach a regular novice class each 1st Tuesday at the Baton Rouge Chess Club and have a regular list of private students. I’d be glad to work with you as well. A list of references can be provided on request (i.e., students who liked my lessons! Ha! Ha!)

Additional Comments from the Teacher:
Educated and articulate. I've played tournament chess - OTB and correspondence - since 1964. At 55 years of age, I'm still active in AZ chess. Out of 101 participants, I shared equal 2nd thru 4th place at the Tucson Open, Jan 1997. During the 70's and 80's, I was many times champion of the South Penn Chess Club. I have placed in numerous Pennsylvania and Arizona tournaments. Shared 1st and drew with WIM Irene Aronoff at Wilkes-Barre 1983.
