All instructors follow the coaching methods that were developed by Elliott over the past 16 years in training multiple students and teams to both state and national titles. The recently opened Chess4Life Center in Bellevue is a place for students to continue to receive additional training, and where coaches can hone their chess coaching skill with guidance from Elliott.
