✅ Bruce Pandolfini
♻️ American chess author, teacher, and coach
🔰 Bruce Pandolfini is an American chess author, teacher, and coach. A USCF national master, he is generally considered to be America’s most experienced chess teacher. As a coach and trainer, Pandolfini has possibly conducted more chess sessions than anyone in the world.
Pandolfini hadn’t played in many tournaments, he reached chess master strength by his late teens. His long and prolific chess-teaching career, however, didn’t begin until immediately after Bobby Fischer won the World Chess Championship in 1972 from Boris Spassky in Reykjavik, Iceland, while Pandolfini was still working at the Strand Bookstore in Greenwich Village. During the match Pandolfini became an analyst for the PBS coverage. He served as an assistant to Shelby Lyman, the show’s insightful moderator, and at the time, America’s top chess teacher. It was Lyman who encouraged Pandolfini to pursue chess teaching as a career, and that’s what he soon did.
