​Coach Jordan is an up and coming talent who values study and analysis. He's worked closely with Coach Bill for more than 4 years, and is committed to the goal of playing chess at the professional level. His peak rating of 1661 has jumped more than 300 points in the last 6 months! Also, at two recent tournaments where he faced opponents with ratings between 1600 and 2100, Coach Jordan placed 2nd and 3rd respectively. He is fascinated by the apparent paradox of chess... "The game has seemingly endless possibilities, yet it is logical, calculated, and ultimately deterministic." In addition to playing on his university chess team, Coach Jordan wants his students to play their very best... every game, and to have fun at the same time :) If your rating is 1400 or less, and you'd like to work with a coach who follows all of the modern GM's, then contact DELTAWORKS at:

 ​ Coach David began working with DELTAWORKS more than 4 years ago, and he is currently among the Top 100
  chess players in Ohio. With the added help of 
Columbus Chess Academy, and later as an entrepreneur, he
  has provided outstanding chess coaching to dozens of kids of different ages and abilities. His peak rating of 1946,
  and his many 
cash prizes at tournaments like the Cardinal Open, King's Island, and the Philadelphia International,
  are a testament to his mastery and study of the game. Interestingly
, Coach David is also a big fan of other board
  games too, including (
but not limited to): Scrabble, Settlers of Catan, and Ticket to Ride! So... if you like board
  games and you want to improve your chess; and if your chess rating is less than 
1600, you might enjoy working
  with Coach David. Get started today, contact
