Gregory Serper
GM Gregory Serper
Articles | Profile | 10541 Followers

When in 1985 Greg Serper was invited to the famous Kasparov-Botvinnik school, he was really inspired by Kasparov's story. Garry insisted that he was destined to become the 13th World Champion since he was born on April 13. Since Greg was born on September 14 he saw it as a very good omen. Alas, this great sign was enough only to tie for first in the World Junior Championship (1988) and win the European Junior Championship (1989), World Open (1999) and a bunch of national and international tournaments. These days Greg teaches chess full time, writes a weekly column for Chess.com, and is proud to have dozens of National and State Champions among his students.

  Sarah Beth, aka "batgirl,"  unlike most of the Article authors on Chess.com, has neither talents nor credentials. What she does have is a two-decade long passion for time-consuming, tedious, historical research and a penchant for transposing her findings into words and stories. Her belief is that the value of Chess extends far beyond the champions, beyond the great games played or the theories advanced.  The value of Chess lies in how it affects each individual who embraces it.  And that's where all stories begin.           My Articles

Later I played on board 1 for my college and grad school teams in intercollegiate and open team tournaments. After mostly taking a hiatus from serious chess for a number of years, I have resumed chess competition, writing, and teaching since the start of 2016. I have now raised my rating to the hig...
