Chess has had an immeasurable effect on my life. I have learned to carefully weigh all my decisions in life, just as I would on the board. Thank you for this opportunity to help the young learn this same lesson.
Zackary Meier
Chess has taught me the most important aspects of life; always think ahead, remember the big picture, and make moves that will set you up for success in the future. In many regards, chess is the perfect allegory for life. A solid strategy is required for winning in both.

Play life like a chess match, don’t be too conservative of your pieces, its okay to make mistakes, we all do, but don’t make the same moves and always be ahead of the competition.

I enjoy teaching chess because you get to sit back and watch as students think and analyze their every move, their every decision.
