- Elite (USCF rating 1000+)
The approximate rating range for each level is for reference only. If you believe you’re ready for the next level, please email us. We’re happy to do an evaluation and adjust placement based on readiness and spot availability. Our coaching team is made up of elite competitive players with years of teaching experience, combining high-level chess understanding with a proven ability to work effectively with students:
- Level 2: Karthik Bimod, Neha Narendran
- Level 3: NM Austin Liu
- Level 4: WGM Zoey Tang, NM Austin Tang
- Elite: IM Ming Lu

What sets our program apart is a structured, level-specific curriculum, weekly graded homework, dedicated office hour support to help students review concepts and assignments, and a thoughtful, long-term approach to chess improvement. We look forward to welcoming players to our spring training session.
