Introduction: I'll seriously teach you, if you try hard! I teach: 1. Positional theory 2. Endings 3. Chess vision (tactics) 4. Pattern recognition 5. Discipline at the board I avoid wasting time on listing opening moves. Instead, I go over common positions that occur in various openings. I cover opening theory as part of positional theory, which is more helpful. I expect students to do homework and play often. I promptly drop those who don't work hard. My rates are more if I travel to cover auto expenses. Group is cheaper. Contact me for my range without gas expenses.
