Testimonials

Read what some of our students' parents say about the benefits of learning chess with Richard.

“Richard has taught chess to all 3 of my children. I can highly recommend his calm, patient and encouraging teaching. My children have learnt resilience, logic and patience, as well as how to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. To have them all represent their school at national competition level has instilled a pride in them and created memories to last a lifetime.”
