It is a pleasure to see Walker active in CCL again. Walker is a CCL graduate whose rating is perennially in the upper 2300’s. Presently, Walker does not have enough hours in the day. Taxed to the limit, he will still give some lessons, but you must travel to Mt. Vernon (about an hour from Columbus). Walker will be coming to the Ohio Grade Levels, where he will be reviewing the kid’s games after they complete them.

Maxwell again! Good Gosh
What is the deal with Maxwell? When he reached 1600, I told him he might plateau. I didn't want him to be shocked when it happened. Ignoring my sage prediction, Maxwell won his section in a major tournament. After that happened, my new prediction was that he would hang out around 1700. I guess he wasn't listening again, as his clear 1st place finish in the U-1900 section of the Ohio Chess Congress brought his rating up to 1800. Maxwell will now hang out around 1800 for a while. It is obvious..... right????????
Maxwell with his mother Li-Chun. Wait, that is the trophy that goes to the State champion. Does Maxwell have some plans for the future?
