I enjoy coaching (and playing!) chess and I am currently taking on more students in the beginner to intermediate level (USCF ratings 800-1600).

Lessons currently are exclusively provided on the chess.com site in combination with Skype or cell-phone.

The first lesson is 30 min ($25) to discuss where your chess ability currently is and where you would like to go with your chess endeavors. From there, I will develop a customized plan based on your current status. This plan is designed to guide you to achieve chess improvement toward your goals. Subsequent training sessions will usually be 1 hour in length.

Each hour lesson is $50 (US) payable by paypal only.

A little about me. I am a 51 year old dentist. I have been playing tournament chess for 26 years and privately coaching chess for the past 2 years. My peak rating is 2110 and I have achieved the USCF title of Candidate Master.
