Instructor Wilson constantly updates his personal
chess learning by studying with Grandmasters such as
Susan Polgar, GM Joel Benjamin, GM Larry
Christiansen and GM Pascal Charbonneau.
Coach Wilson has amassed a consistent winning
record. His students and teams have won or placed
in the award levels in all major tournaments
entered. This includes state and national

creative ways far beyond analyzing, annotating and
saving chess games. He has developed an extensive
library of high-quality training materials,
including variations, text commentary, spoken
comments, embedded pictures, soundtracks and even
video sequences.
