Hi Guys! My name is Collins. I’m an active over the board and online chess player who loves both playing and helping others level up their game,,without taking ourselves too seriously. You’ll usually find me at local tournaments, club meetups, or coaching sessions.

I coach at Bishops Bridge Chess Club, a place that’s as much about social hangouts and chess fun as it is about learning. We focus on improving at a comfortable pace, sharing ideas, and enjoying the game together rather than stressing about ratings. Check us out on Instagram at @the_bishops_bridge to see our hangouts and community in action.

My coaching style is practical, relaxed, and personalized. We tackle openings, tactics, and endgames, but the real magic is in understanding ideas, spotting tricks, and turning learning into something you actually enjoy. Mistakes? They’re just stepping stones to better chess (and good stories).

I’ve helped beginners and intermediate players gain confidence, develop solid foundations, and learn strategies that actually stick. Outside coaching, I’m involved in fun chess projects and community initiatives that make the game approachable, engaging, and social.

If you’re looking for a coach who mixes learning with laughs, strategy with social vibes, and improvement with a good time, we’ll get along great!
