In numerous studies chess has been shown to have multiple educational benefits for children and adults, such as improving memory and logical thinking, development of visualization skills, and many other qualities that are essential for successful career in almost any modern field. Chess, along with other brain-stimulating activities, is also known to prevent Alzheimer's disease in older people.
Having been taught in my youth under the legendary Soviet chess education system, particularly by Vladimir Vulfson, one of the coaches of the Dvoretsky Chess School (which is widely considered to be the best chess school in the world), I am very familiar with various effective approaches of teaching chess and know what real chess training is about.
I do not actively seek chess students right now due to my successful professional poker playing career, but I may still be interested in occasionally coaching promising chess players in a live (person-to-person) setting. I do not provide any coaching online or by phone.
Please feel free to e-mail me to inquire about my rates and availability for lessons, simultaneous exhibitions, tournaments, and other events.
