yellow, I am a competitive over the board player with a national rating, which means two things.

One, I have spent a serious amount of time staring at chessboards.

Two, I have blundered enough pieces in my life to understand exactly why students do it.

I coach strictly because I enjoy that moment when something clicks for someone. When a student goes from “I thought that was forced” to “Oh. Ohhh. I see it now.” That shift is addictive to me. Improvement in chess is not magic. It is pattern recognition, better questions, calmer thinking, and a bit of discipline layered on top of genuine curiosity.

My style is flexible. Some students want structure and homework. Some want deep game analysis and conversation. Some just need someone to slow them down and say, “Okay. What is actually happening on this board?” I adapt. The goal is not to turn you into a copy of me of course. The goal is to sharpen the way you think so you trust yourself at move 35 with 5 minutes left.

I focus on practical skills:

• How to calculate without panicking
• How to build opening understanding instead of memorising ten moves and hoping
• How to spot tactics before they spot you
• How to lose a game properly so it becomes useful

And yes, I address blundering. Directly.

Here is my highly scientific anti blunder system:

Is it exciting? Not always. Is it effective? Lets just say you’ll be 1600 elo in no time.

If you send me a game, I will not just circle mistakes in red and move on. We will break down your thought process. Why you chose that move. What you missed. What you assumed. How can you do better next time.

If you are a beginner who wants direction, or a club player who feels stuck in the same rating range, I can help you build something solid. No ego lifting and whatnot.

I'm avaliable 24/7, you can ask me to review games, or give some advice, watch you play or quickly rehash something outside training hours. (The great thing about me is that I'm not too high rated so I understand beginner errors really well and can help you improve more practically.)

Chess is hard. That's the point. Let me try to make it little less hard for you ok?

$10/ per hr of training. 2 hours everyday.

$5/ per hour if you book 5 lessons in advance.
