LidongW

Hello Everyone, welcome to Lidong's chessroom. I am Lidong Wang, a 33-year-old National Master of the USA.
Grown-up as a chess protigy in Shanghai, China, I started playing at the age of 6. After winning various awards in loal and natinoal events, I joined the Chinese National Traning Camp as a trainee until I decided to persue higher education in the USA when I was 18.

I started teaching in 2010 as the President of Chess Club in the University of Rochester, NY. My students and club members have FIDE ratings ranged from 800 to 2000. As the leader of the college chess club, I started and organized inter-college chess league among 5 universities.

My courses focus on opening basics, positional mid-game and endgame stategy. Traps, counter-intuitive tactics and hope-tactics are not mainstrean in the chessroom. I offer personalized lessons by studying the student’s previous games and playing games according to his or her ratings to find out the style, weaknesses and strengths to build the couses on. Free course materials are under development.
