Our Focus
FUN
This is my main focus. Having fun whilst learning also helps students retain information better because they enjoy the process.
STRATEGY
Students will learn how to master strategy, tactics and study from the Opening, through the Middle Game to the Endgame.
TOURNAMENTS
I will prepare my students and guide them through the various tournaments and championships.
