Dear Neph:
My name is Alex Lenderman(IM), and I was Abby Marshall’s partner when we playd your team just recently at Amateurs, when yuo played with Shin. I heard you wrote a bughouse book and I realized you’re just phenomenal in the game. Normally I ignore that, as I don’t take this game as seriously, but I still would like to know the secrets because to me, to be U2000 player and be teh best player of the country or one of the best in a variation of chess is still absolutely incredible. What I’d like to do possibly if you’d be interested is to exchange some chess lessons for some bughouse lessons. Maybe, you can also send me the book as well if I give enough lessons. But again that’s if you want. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

I’ve been taking chess lessons with Neph for about eight months now and I’ve noticed an incredible improvement. Neph is a fantastic teacher and constantly makes sure to keep with your skill level and help you improve. My rating has improved and I’m noticing things in chess that I would have never noticed before without Neph. He’s a great friend and a great teacher and his lessons are well worth the cost.

After watching Neph teach my son chess, I am very impressed and would recommend him to anyone. He is an excellent teacher – very thorough, clear, and direct. His style of teaching is a great match for my style of learning. He is very flexible in working with us – meeting with us at Randalls and adjusting to our schedule when things came up.
Thanks again for the excellent lessons.

I have been taking lessons from Neph and he has helped me so much in the music. He is very patient and knows what he is doing for his student to be successful and achieve greatly. If anybody needs a chess or trumpet teacher Neph is the right guy to go to.

Neph is an awesome instructor. My son used him and really learned a lot fast.

Hi my name is Jesus Rodriguez and I play the trumpet in a Mariachi band. Neph has helped me improve my music reading skills. I certainly recommend him!
