Hi! I’m Daniel, a Level 2 ECF‑accredited chess coach specialising in helping beginner and intermediate players (0–1500) build solid fundamentals, grow their confidence, and understand the reasoning behind their moves.

Players rated under 1500 shouldn’t focus on memorising long opening lines or studying grandmaster games. Instead, they should follow a structured improvement plan that builds strong fundamentals across all phases of the game.

With me, you’ll learn to calculate efficiently, blunder less often, develop opening principles tailored to your level, create middlegame plans that work in any position, convert endgames with confidence, and analyse your own games for rapid improvement.

People I’ve worked with often say they feel more confident in their decision‑making, tactical awareness, and planning, leading to steady rating growth and a greater enjoyment of chess overall.
