1982 and Thessalonica, Greece 1984, 1988). At the 1984 competition, he scored 8
points out of 11 without a single defeat. This remarkable performance placed
him second in the overall individual standings.
As
a teacher and lecturer, Roman's services are in demand across North
America. He has taught at numerous chess camps and given seminars
on a variety of chess topics in Canada
and the United States.
He has also conducted intensive training workshops for instructors from
organizations such as the Chess'n Math Association.
In
2005, Roman was awarded the title of FIDE trainer at the FIDE
executive board meeting in Dresden.
This qualifies Roman to conduct FIDE Authorized seminars to train other chess
instructors. Roman is the first person in Canada to achieve this
qualification.
The chess counselor assisting Roman Pelts in 2006 was Nikolai Noritsin, CFC 2435; FIDE 2367, qualified as FIDE
Master in 2005. In chess camp 2007 Nikolai works as a trainer.

the age of 13 Mark became the youngest ever Canadian International Master. At
