Thanks to Lawyer Times and his teammates, Nehemiah’s progress in chess is something to be proud of, as he is really developing his skills.

Their online chess program is wonderful. It has helped my son play chess with a deep understanding of each game. He has been improving steadily in chess—and in school. His hard work is paying off.

Ever since Nehemiah has become part of the online chess team, his behavior in school has improved tremendously. He is able to focus more and study hard. He went from a student who was failing to an A & B honors student.

Nehemiah is now better than half of all rated chess players in just one year.
