Dr. Richard Lewis retired two years ago from his dentistry career and has since taught for us in several schools in Westchester and the Bronx. He taught International Master Yaacov Norowitz and our New Jersey Instructor Mikhail Kruglyak when they were children in Elizabeth, NJ.
We speak about his life on the Thomas Jefferson High School chess team, the University of Pennsylvania chess club, lessons with Grandmaster Rossolimo for $8/hour, the importance of patience, chess pedagogy lessons, exchanging chess for dental lessons, thought process in chess and dentistry and more.
