Founder Carl Boor
With close to twenty years of training experience, Chess Master Carl Boor has provided professional and engaging chess service to schools, groups and individuals.
It is critical for a coach to not only have a strong knowledge base, but also to inspire and build confidence. I pride myself on being able to balance these elements in my teaching while at the same time create a fun, yet structured, learning experience.
Playing Accolades
National Master Title in 1998, Fide Master in 2009, Senior Master in 2012, 3 time Champion of Ohio.
July 2012 World Open co champion and Midwest Class co champion for a combined win of over $10,000 in prizes
Games and analysis have appeared in Chess Life, USChess.org and New In Chess Magazine and even invented his own chess opening, "The Boor Attack" (1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.cxd5 cxd5 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.f3 !)

Outside of chess, Carl holds a BA in English/Psychology from Ohio State. He enjoys writing fiction, music composition and living life to the fullest with his family.
I have a big passion for chess and I personally want to see my students reach their goals and achieve their potential.
Please feel free to contact me if you or your students need a coach that can take their game to the next level and beyond!
