"After he'd gained his law degree, John-Stuart was out teaching chess at a number of secondary schools on a semi-regular basis. Primarily, it began as a stop gap measure while he was trying to secure full time legal work. Although not entirely unexpected, John-Stuart happened to uncover his true calling and decided to abandon the idea of a law career."
