WELCOME TO MYCHESSBRAIN.COM The site is now totally FREE! Please enjoy your one stop shop for training and online play! My name is Carl Boor, I am a chess master who is now offering chess lessons and classes in the Chicago land and NorthWest suburbs as well as online. I am the three time champion of Ohio (USCF 2357) and a very experienced coach (coaching individuals and groups since 1996). Now with my recent relocation, I am eager to meet parents, students and players who share my passion for chess. In addition to my experience as a chess educator I hold a BA in English with and an emphasis in creative writing. I have experience tutoring primary age students in Language Arts and other subjects. I am a coach that cares and understands the need for the student to “discover” their own path to mastery. Everyone thinks that Chess is a hard game! However the truth is that you can reach your potential by receiving a solid foundation in the basic principals and techniques of the three phases of Chess. Once this process begins chess becomes less of a chore and more of an art or “flow experience”. I have coached and mentored a wide range of students over the past fifteen years and I can attest to the transformative and empowering benefits of chess study on young minds. I pride myself on being able to pass on chess mastery while at the same time creating a fun and rewarding lesson. In addition to my chess knowledge, I have strong classroom management skills and work to create a structured yet fun learning enviroment. The cost for a one hour chess individual chess lesson is $65, 1.5 hours $80. I am willing to travel throughout the Western and Northwestern Suburbs of Chicago. Online chess lessons will be given on www.chess.com and using Skype. The cost for a one hour lesson is $50. The rates for group lessons and classes varies on number of attendees and other factors.
