I’m Corey Zapin, a former South Florida Chess Champion, ranked in the top 10% nationally by the US Chess Federation. I’ve been competing for over a decade and led the chess clubs at both Florida Atlantic University and my high school.

I’ve coached players of all ages, but my approach is always the same: teach the why behind strong moves, not just tricks that work once. I focus on core principles like development, space, timing, and clarity, so my students don’t just improve, they understand the game and enjoy it more.
