Why sign my name with any name besides my own?
Why should I not say how great I think CM is in my finger notes at ICC?

I am sure you would like to see your name in finger notes of your students when
they think you have done something good for them.

BTW I was looking for advice on teaching kids chess. I was not wondering how
much you charge, sorry.

To everyone else great advice, thanks.
