Want to Improve Your Chess? 

As Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan wrote in Inside Chess, "The best way to get better at chess is to play. The second best way to improve is to have an experienced teacher!" 

You are playing in tournaments! What about an experienced teacher? 

I have over 40 years of teaching experience as the head coach of the Ukrainian youth team, director of a chess school in USSR, and personal trainer of various Masters in the US as well as in USSR. 

Massachusetts State Champion 6 times (1992, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2010), New England Champion 3 times (2007, 2009, 2011) and Co-winner, 2025 MA Senior Championship.
