My Fall 2014 Teaching Schedule

In fall 2014, on behalf of Enrich and Grow Academy, I will be teaching after school enrichment classes on chess at these schools:

Mondays - Washington Avenue School;

Tuesdays - Yavneh Academy;

Wednesdays - Ironia Elementary School;

Fridays - Wyoming Elementary School.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
