A basic familiarity of the secret keys to success at high-level chess is actually required to defeat most good club players. Glance at a position, identify the key elements, and target the most promising candidate moves, and relevant game plans ... is what you'll learn from me.

I'll illustrate defensive techniques that achieve draws in seemingly hopeless positions. And demonstrate creative attacks from the most mundane situations. Instead of struggling with the frustration of mangling endings, you'll be enjoying the party.

Why continue losing to fish? Time to wake up. Make a choice today. Start learning from one of the most dedicated and talented chess teachers you'll ever meet.

My students have varying goals in chess. Some are champions seeking success at the next level. Many are recreational players seeking to further their enjoyment and understanding. In our busy lives, knowing the direct routes to our goals is priceless. Rather than spinning your wheels, accomplishing little or nothing, let me guide you to the fastest way to acquire a degree of mastery at the royal and enigmatic game we love. My goal is to share my joy and fascination with chess in an entertaining way.
