GM-Led High-Performance (1200+) Class for Juniors and Adults

For Active Juniors and Adults Rated USCF 1200+

Our High-Performance class returns for its second year, taught again by GM and former US Open champion Enrico Sevillano.

Whether you're a rising junior or a returning adult player, you'll benefit from the deep insights, decades of experience as a world-class competitor, and 1:1 game analysis from Sevillano, whose credentials include:

• Peak USCF 2612, FIDE 2537

• Champion: US Open, National Open, American Open, Southern California Open (7x) and Closed (4x), East Bay Open (4x)

• Defeated future world champion Viswanathan Anand

Each 90-minute small group (max 8:1 student:teacher) class will include:

• 50 minutes of structured lessons around all facets of the game

• 40 minutes of practice games with game analysis by Enrico

• Targeted homework assignments and self-practice materials to reinforce learning

Perfect for both ambitious players aiming to win on a regional and national level, as well as veterans looking to maintain and raise their ratings.
