Welcome - my name is Matthew Wadsworth, and I am a 25 year old grandmaster from the United Kingdom. I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2022 and worked full-time within chess from 2022-2026 as both an active player and coach. In 2025, I became the most recent Grandmaster from England, and my current FIDE rating of 2516 puts me at #8 in the country.

I have been coaching since 2019 and have worked with over 60 individual students and multiple groups in that time. The experience gained from this has allowed me to develop a huge amount in this time, firstly as a coach but secondly as a player.

For any inquiries (playing/coaching/other), please send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
