National Master Stephen (Ernest) Colding

Founder of Chess for Children LLC and scholastic chess teacher for over 40 years.

I have taught thousands of children to play chess and coached numerous city, state, and national champions. My students have included beginners, gifted children, tournament champions, and even children as young as two years old.

I believe chess is more than a game. It teaches planning, responsibility, critical thinking, and decision-making.

I am the author of:

• Teach Your Child Chess in 10 Easy Lessons
• How to Behave at the Chessboard
• Teach Your Class to Play Chess
