While other coaches are proud to have students achieving rating of 1000 by 4-6th grade Elena students get to this rating in less than a year, even if they are as young as K-graders!

Elena’s son achieved rating of 1000 when he was in pre-K, at age of 5 and by second grade he was rated over 1400 winning most of local 4-6 grade tournaments. He came second in 2005 Nationals (Championship! of course!) and he is the only student so far in state of Washington who won Tournament of Champions in K-3 section as a second grader.

Elena created series of Chess Academy workbooks for after-school and homework.
