“My son has been a student of both Alanna and Ben for over five years. Not only have they turned him from an absolute beginner into one of the best 11 year old players in the country; but most importantly they have instilled in him a love for the game and an understanding of what it takes to succeed at chess – qualities that will serve him for the rest of his life.”
