Either by hard work or plain luck, I have a special gift with kids:)

This is my newest private student. It is actually a brother & sister who didn't know how to play when we started.

 

Dan Chapman
Dan's son was one of the most talented students in my after-school chess classes.

 

Pritte Gupta
Pritee was an employee at a Kids to Pros (below) that hired me to develop their after-school program. Her daughter was interested in chess, so I gave her a lesson there, which led to private lessons.

In 1980 I played in an open tournament, beating a 2300 master in the last round to tie for second place in the tournament. I tied with three 2400 players, International Master (IM) Silman and Federation Master (FM) Lobo. I don't remember who the third player was.

I was very fortunate to have had my coach take this picture of the post-game analysis.
