Love chess? Improve your chess now with chess lessons!
Experienced chess instructor, Windsor’s most active adult chess
player looking for a few motivated students who wish to excel at
tournament chess through a proven program of lessons and chess study. I have taken many
students from beginner to contender through my classes and
private lessons. Some of my former students now teach chess successfully and I can even
proudly recommend them as instructors if we can’t find a time
which works for both of us.

into reality.
I will teach you how to open a chess game,
how to choose a move and
analyze a chess position
how to analyze your own
games so that you can
learn from your mistakes
and stop making the same
errors over and over again

logically so that your
opponent is more likely to
make a mistake and you
are less likely to. how to choose a game plan how to checkmate your
opponent how to use chess tactics to
your advantage including
the power of pins,
deflections, double attacks,
xray attacks, critical
points, critical
constructions, weak
squares and outposts the rules for choosing a
move when you are unsure
of what to do based on the
teachings of my own chess
coach, grandmaster Viktor

Many of my students have
experienced significant improvements
in their play and have won many
trophies, medals and awards. Four
out of forty Canadian team members
at the WYCC (World Youth Chess
Championships) held in Brazil in 2011
came from our Windsor advanced
children’s class, two were 2011
Ontario champions and three were
2012 Ontario champions at the OYCC
(Ontario Youth Chess Championships)
held in Kitchener, ON. Another tied
for first in Canadian Youth Chess
Championship (CYCC) 2012 and
finished tied for third in her age
group at the Pan American
tournament for all of the Americas.
Another represented Canada in the
2010 WYCC tournament in Greece.
Four current and previous students
qualified and three went to represent
Canada in Slovenia at the 2012 WYCC
on a 27 player roster. In 2013 four
students qualified for WYCC with one
Canadian Champion and three
finishing second. Three of my
students and former students have
gained the FIDE candidate master
title or women’s candidate master
title as a result of their performances
in international play like the North
American Youth Chess Championship.
Ten Windsor players (students and
former students) went on to play in
the World Youth Championship in
2013. Last year we had three
qualified to play in the South Africa
WYCC though only one went. We
expect to surpass the total from 2013
in 2015.

Have a reason for every move you
make and be able to explain it to
yourself…, verbally. If you cannot
explain why you should make the
move, then do not make it. Each
move should be part of the
solution to the most urgent
problem of the position.

Words of Wisdom”, 2010.
