The studio
A quiet room for thinking.
Kibitzmoor is one long room above the hardware store on Mercer Street: three tables, a demonstration board on the wall, and a shelf of books anyone can borrow.
Two coaches, small groups.
Hana Petrossian teaches the kids classes and Saturday mornings. Walt Ebersole teaches adults and most private lessons. Both have taught beginners for years and still play every Friday.
Groups stop at ten players, so everyone gets time at the demonstration board and a coach looks at every game.
What we care about
- Plain explanations. We say why a move is good, not only that it is.
- Good manners at the board. Shake hands, keep quiet near other games, and help clear up.
- Your own pace. Some players want a tournament in spring; some want a calm hour a week. Both are welcome.
