Cory is an advanced beginner in a transition of becoming a solid amateur chess player. Surprisingly, he has reached 1400+ rating points on his own in only 1.5 year. Adding consistent practice to his genetics will definitely unlock a new level in his chess career.

I know Ted for more than a year. First of all, we had lessons online which helped me a lot. The beginning of the match was the hardest thing for me, but Ted explained me plenty of combinations, how to make a good position which can lead you to the victory. I really respect him as a patient and reliable coach. Good luck!
