I am US Chess Federation certified coach, organizer, and lifelong aficionado. In 2013 I began the Shenandoah Valley Chess Club to promote the academic and social benefits of chess.
At the current moment… chess organizing is on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My ability to teach has also been limited by professional commitments.
If you are looking for a coach, I would be happy to refer you to a Master.
Please contact me with any chess-related questions or needs.
Check the club website and social media for updates on our return.
In the meantime, please stay safe and good luck with your games.
