About me

30 year old chess coach with over 25 years experience.

Playing experience

approximately 100 standardplay games per year every year
I won the British Major Open 2018
I have also won plenty of weekend tournaments across the United Kingdom

Teaching experience

I have been teaching chess for over 5 years, both 1-2-1 and in groups/classes.
Several students of mine have played for the England team and my best Students have reached 1900 Fide, some gaining 500 Fide points in under a year.

Best skills

Attack + Defence (Tactics)
Strategic Planning + Improvement of the middle game
Endgame Methods
Dynamic Openings (Alekhine, Benoni, Budapest, Czech and thats just the first 4 alphabetically!)

Teaching methodology

Using Lichess + Chessbase I design lessons, which I then leave open for the student to come back to anytime for a refresher - and I analyse my students games to see if they are turning the theoretical into the practical.
