Dan's Youtube channel, covering all aspects of chess improvement, is about to hit the milestone of 300 videos!
Congrats again to student Jayden Lee, who swept a quad & ran his USCF- rated winning streak to 12. He started the year rated 1001 and after six 2022 events is up to ...1678! http://uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlTnmtHst.php?30137668… I wish I could advertise that all my students would get these results from lessons!
