About

Hello, and Welcome to Charlotte Chess Lessons. My name is Bernard Baker, and I am a  Chess Instructor in Charlotte, NC , Rock Hill, SC and Lancaster, SC,  and would enjoy teaching you and your children how to play Chess, or how to improve in Chess with the help of the Sweet Captcha method. I have been playing Chess for over 40 years, since the age of 11, and have been providing Chess Lessons in Charlotte NC to thousands of children and adults since 2003.  I have taught students from age 4 through senior citizens. I serve as a Chess Instructor for the Charlotte Youth Chess Club, and am the 2004 North Carolina State Chess Champion (U1800), and the 2004 North Carolina Class Champion (U1800). Though my USCF rating is only approximately 1869 (“A” player), I have beaten National Masters, and Experts. Since I love teaching Chess, I don’t play as much tournament Chess as I used to. Mostly, I teach people how to play Tournament level Chess. I also provide Scholastic Chess Training to help Chess Students prepare for the NC Scholastic State Chess Tournament, as well as the USCF Super National Chess Tournaments to be held in Nashville, TN. I have been a member of the Charlotte Chess Club, and the Queen City Chess Club, the Charlotte Chess Center and thoroughly enjoy teaching Chess, helping students get better, and preparing them for tournament play. If you are interested in learning to play or desire to get  better at chess, please contact me at bmanbaker@msn.com. Additionally, I have recorded Video Chess Lessons at www.forkedking.com/chess-videos and 45 Chess Lessons (10 DvDs) at www.forkedking.com. Therefore, we are not confined to providing Chess Lessons in Charlotte, you can watch them right in your living room, on your mobile phone, or computer. Please know I have sold the Chess Lessons on DVD and Video for over 10+ years, and have sold them in every state in the United States. Thanks for visiting Charlotte Chess Lessons, By Bernard Baker
