"I'm gonna relax with a 1 0 game!" said no one ever.

Of all the time controls I've played, 1 0 is by far the most stressful. Not only do you have to beat your opponent, you also have to beat the time and computer lag. And you face the blundering part of yourself, too.

I work hard to get an advantage and it vanishes due to time constraints. How frustrating.
So what's my point? If you want to finish your opponent off, make sure to KO him in the opening:

Who said winning had to be hard? Sometimes it's not :D

Hello, I'm Houji - Welcome to my page.

I've been playing chess since childhood, but really committed during college where I jumped from 1800 to National Master shortly after graduation. My improvement came through focused self-study and working with dedicated training partners.

Who I work with:

  • Beginners looking for a solid foundation
  • Club players ready to make the leap to expert/master level

What we'll cover:

  • Game analysis and pattern recognition
  • Opening principles and repertoire building
  • Tactical training and calculation
  • Endgame technique
  • Tournament psychology and practical decision-making
