What They Said after class

Kristine Dahlke

It’s been 2 years since our first meeting with the Tolentino family. From the first day that Matthew stepped in the Calgary Chess Club, Coach Angelo believed in his ability and challenged my son to attend the tournament a day after. Out of respect and trust with the Tolentino family, we followed their suggestion. From that moment on, we constantly seek their advice as well as attended their classes ever since Chessminds Calgary started. Forever we will be grateful with the unending support and guidance you always give Matthew. Thank you and we appreciate you a lot!
