Parents often asked me if I teach total beginners. I am sorry I don't. My online class starts at Step 2. Some asked me if I teach total beginners offline. Sorry again, I don't teach them separately. They will learn with the intermediate students and play against them too. How can I help these beginner students? Finally, after several months planning, we published first lesson for Chess 101. Each video is not long, only 10-15 minutes. How many videos? I have no idea right now, at least 20. If you like my video lesson, please start following me or recommend it to your friends. Hope everyone can benefit. Thank you!
