When meeting NM Glenn Bady, you may notice his easy-going demeanor and natural smile. A native of Philadelphia, he starred in scholastic chess, and later earned the title of National Master.
With an obvious zeal for the game of chess, he has become a successful coach with his "Challenging Heads" Chess Program, and has taught the essence of higher thinking skills in children ages 5-15. Bady extols the merits of chess in an attractive brochure describing his program. If you think this is just a self-promoting venture and an attempt to offer false promises, here is a testimony from a teacher at the Ancillae-Assumpta Academy:
"Children in my class have improved their vocabulary and comprehension. I have seen increases in problem-solving and critical thinking skills. After six weeks in Glenn's chess class, it is easier for me to teach them how to solve math word problems. I would recommend that every student learn chess."
