Youth Chess

Scholastic players and parents: Many of the posts on this blog feature lessons developed for youth chess players. The label "Problem of the Week" links to posts that contain my "lesson of the week" from September 2011 through April 2017, and then again occasional posts from 2021 on.

I am available for one-on-one lessons in person or online. Use the contact form below if interested.
