The held each other close and turned their backs upon the end. The hills that split asunder, and the black that ate the skies; The flames that shot so high and hot that even dragons burned; would never be the final sights that fell upon their eyes. A fly upon a wall, the waves the sea-wind whipped and churned - The city of a thousand years, and all that men had learned; The doom consumed it all alike, and neither of them turned.

Hello there, welcome to my profile! Here, I've basically turned my bio into a blog for pretty much nobody to read. Cool, right? I mean, has anyone else done this? Probably not, and I'm sure there's a good reason for that lol... CHESS COACH I was named the February 2023 Chess.com Coach Of The Month, which I thought was pretty epic. Thanks, chess.com! To anyone who may be interested in lessons, my hourly rate is $30. Shoot me a message if you're interested, I'm currently accepting new students 😁  USCF CM  I am a USCF CM - Which I don't think means a whole lot, personally. There aren't exactly any benefits that come with earning this title. I mean, It's cool that I can call myself a master at the game, but even that isn't super satisfying because USCF CM isn't the title I want. Inste...

Experienced chess coach specializing in tactics and openings. An author of educational chess courses on Udemy and other educational platforms. You can find them on my website.

I am a New York-based writer, documentary producer, and chess expert (USCF rating ~2130). My insane obsessive hobby for a long time has been to play through old chess games, more or less in chronological order. I am interested in the evolution of chess and looking to follow various ideas as they develop over time, but most of all, I am interested in the players and in treating them sort of the way an art survey book would treat artists. The theory is that each top player – to consistently defeat other grandmasters – has to bring something new to the game, has to have a philosophy of chess that sets them apart.  For non-chess-writing (if there really is such a thing), my primary home is the Substack 'Castalia.' This includes fiction, essays, personal reflections, commentary on politics a...

I was born in 1960 - the year a young Mikhail Tal became World Champion. After leaving the British junior chess circuit I started working unusual hours and have done ever since. For that reason I had very little chance to play chess as an adult, and instead bought chess books. At least 1000 have passed through my hands, and I have gone over at least 50,000 Master level games. I am fascinated by chess as an evolutionary process, and have been writing about chess history since the days when I had to type up articles on a stencil for a 'duplicating machine'.  There is a saying :- 'No-one is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is entitled to an informed opinion. Who would say that they are entitled to ignorance.' Sometimes things that ' everybody knows' are not true. All chess players are my f...
