"Coach Bah was my own successful business’s (www.StartRightChess.com) go-to coach during the pandemic. He taught group and semi-private lessons and did a fantastic job getting kids to slow down and think and to recognize tactical possibilities. I hope we get a chance to work together again at some point in the near future.
