I'd also like to let all of my students and potential future students know that Chess.com has disabled its coach payment system meaning the payment method for booking chess lessons with me has changed. I still accept payment via PayPal but for those who prefer using credit/debit, you will need to visit my work-in-progress website: www.APlusTutoringAmerica.com to purchase lessons.

That's all for today everybody. I will compile resources for advanced players in the near future so stay tuned!
