The Player - my first serious chess tournament was back in 1974, a little late for today's standards. Over the years I have had the opportunity to play all forms of chess from OTB to postal, email and server chess. The journey as a player brought me a lot of experience and a few titles along the way: FIDE CM (2012) and ICCF IM (2001). I also have one ICCF SIM norm (2004).

The Instructor - my career as a chess teacher, coach and mentor started in 1994 and continues strong. I have been awarded the FIDE Instructor title (2007) for my work and have been blessed with great students reaching the highest levels (CYCC, NAYCCC, Pan-Am, WYCC). My website:

I have developed our own chess curriculum on 6 levels based on my overall chess knowledge and hands-on experience. A glimpse of it can be seen in our first chess app HERE
I can help you learn chess the proper way if this is what you seek. If you are as committed as I am, let's talk!

Beginning Sep 2016 I have joined a select group of chess instructors led by GM Nigel Davies (ENG). Our contributions are available here:

It has been designated the #1 UK Chess Blog in 2018 and 2020 based on social metrics, google search ranking, plus quality and consistency of blogging.

Beginning May 2017 we have added the online version of our club:

It is the place where our former and current students participate in our friendly tournaments and keep in touch with each other.
