Testimonials
"Just a quick note to tell you how well I thought the chess class was run last Friday. The initial organization and engagement of the kids was just great to see. The instructors had command of their audiences both in the large group setting and the small. I thought it was run so well. Thank you for bringing your fabulous program to our school. I know the kids will benefit greatly from having such a well organized and well taught program."

"My son, and occasionally I too, have been participating in BayAreaChess tournaments for the last 2 years. Salman Azhar is the best tournament organizer around. He does not shirk from taking on extra work. He introduced additional rating sections, and even when a participant has a bye, Salman will try to provide an extra-rated game. He is always soliciting feedback to improve the organization and logistics."

"My son, who will be starting 3rd grade in Fall, has been a regular in the BayAreaChess tournaments. Whether he wins a trophy or a medal matters little to me because he is enjoying the game. I am happy to note that the results have been positive so far."
