Dan Heisman is a good teacher

I have been fooling around with chess for 40 years. I have been content to just play skittles around town and study it for fun. But now that I am coaching an elementary school team, and teaching them to be tough, I believe I need to improve my game.

Thank you Dan. (I completed, Back to Basics, Tactics, twice, and I am now reading A Guide to Chess Improvement.)

I have been studying to be a better coach, and in the process I have uncovered some of my own deficits.


The old guy probably tells the kids, "Back when I was your age Chess was tough! We didn't have computers. We didn't even have books. We had to make our own pieces out of sticks we found in the woods and carved ourselves. We were poor, but we were happy. Ah those were the days!"

Kiss me Caissa!
