GM Gregory Serper Greg faced eight World Champions during his illustrious chess career and this speaks volumes of his experience. His chess resume has too many titles to list (winning the World Open and World Junior Championships are fine examples). Now he mostly teaches chess and enjoys spending time with his wife and two children.
GM Joshua Friedel Josh’s friendly personality and pleasantly engaging teaching style put students at ease. The opposite is true of Friedel’s opponents: they fear his excellent opening preparation, deadly attacks, and merciless technique. In addition to being a chess professional, Josh is a fantastic writer and a superb tennis player.
FM Alex Betaneli Having won multiple national events, Alex looks forward to finally becoming an International Master by the end of 2010.
