I am the Founder and CEO of Chess University LLC, the world's leading online chess academy with its primary website located at https://ChessUniversity.com
My journey in the chess education world began when I became a #1-selling coach on Chess.com. I later became President of Chess.com University and started offering "super-premium" services, that went beyond Chess.com's core offerings.
In summer of 2014, I organized the world's first online chess camp featuring 2012 Vice Wold Chess Champion GM Boris Gelfand.
Towards the end of 2014, I created the Prodigy Program which today is Chess University's flagship offering as well as the world's undisputed #1 chess course. Five-time World Chess Champion GM Viswanathan Anand started teaching in the Prodigy Program in 2016 and has been helping Chess University / ChessUniversity.com revolutionize online chess learning since then. In 2017, 13th World Champion Anatoly Karpov taught a live lesson in the Prodigy Program.
