Hello, everyone. My name is Ben. I've been playing chess for about 10 years. My best result was the6th annual Chicago class tournament, where I tied for 1st in class B with 3 wins and 2 draws. (I also almost touched Eric Rosen once.) I had a chance to visit the St. Louis chess center and it was a great experience. My only real experience coaching was with young kids who had no intention of learning or improving. I'm itching to get my feet wet and help serious players improve.

Feel free to message me if you're looking for cheap, in depth, personalized coaching.

I love playing Texas holdem, League of legends, and have a fanatical obsession with the movie, "Fight club," and the show, "True detective." Musical tastes span from Marilyn Manson to Earl sweatshirt.

I was featured in a Silman article:
