I started playing tournament chess in 1988. My first chess teacher was my father, James Karagianis, and then I took lessons from Carmine Nigro.
I obtained my expert rating in 2003, and National Master title in 2005, and Life Master in 2010.
I am also a professional chess coach, and make my living coaching over 200 kids a week in 13 different schools. I give individual lessons, and all of my students who have studied with me for more than one year are in the top 100 for their age group, if not top 50 or higher. I am as equally proud of my accomplishments as a coach as I am of my accomplishments as a player.
