Classes will be held at our San Jose office with full and half day options available. His assistant will be no other than his wife, Natalia Koleva, who is a 2000+ level player herself. Together, they make the ultimate master camp coaching team.

San Jose - St. Leo: We will host another fun chess camp for our young and eager chess players. We welcome anyone who is an absolute beginner, beginner or intermediate player. Coach James and Coach Jasmine two amazing coaches who can make a week long camp to be fun and enjoyable, yet educational and engaging.
Our St. Leo the Great school location is fantastic as we have an enclosed school area in which to work and access to the indoor basketball court.
We also have access to outdoor play so we can include enjoyable outdoor breaks and play time.

Palo Alto: With three weeks remaining of our summer season at Palo Alto, spots are filling up. Only a few left with 30+ campers already registered, so hurry and register ASAP if you want your child to participate in next week's camp. Coach Faik Aleskerov will be assisted by Coach GrandMaster Zviad Izoria, and Coach Jason, and will be having a few volunteers during midday.
We welcome anyone who is an absolute beginner, beginner or intermediate player, we have a coach for any level. With the park just a few minutes of walk away, kids can enjoy a great recess time, and the Fireside room is comfortable for a larger class and can pay attention to the instructions and paired play.
