Chess

I'm a class B (almost class A) player who has been playing chess competitively for the last few years, though I've been playing the game since I was a child. I regularly play in competitive over-the-board tournaments, as well as playing daily online. I am currently in the top 1% of players on Chess.com. I have an International Master as a coach, so I am constantly learning myself and I understand what it's like to be a student of the game. 
I can analyze student's games, identify weak areas of play, and develop a personalized routine to help you improve. Every day, I dedicate hours of studying to chess openings, tactics, chess history, endgames, and strategic concepts, and I am eager to teach this information to others.

"The hardest game to win is a won game" - World Champion Emanuel Lasker. 

So often towards the end of a game of chess the winning player relaxes and lets the won game slip away and ends up with a drawn game instead. In this course the student will learn how to finish off their opponent efficiently using practical examples from games of masters and amateurs alike.

I'm a passionate chess player and full-time chess coach with an extensive knowledge of chess theory who specializes in teaching beginner/intermediate (up to ~1600 USCF) players of all ages. Lessons will be personalized to focus on student's weaknesses and areas of needed improvement, as well as generalized chess instruction. In our lessons, we'll analyze full games (games that you've played as well as master-level games), study opening and endgame theory, and practice tactical motifs to improve all aspects of your play.
Chess is a great platform to improve critical thinking skills and one's ability to focus, as well as a great way to have fun. As an adult learner, I understand that getting into chess (especially later in life) can be a bit daunting. I'm here to help remove the stress from chess learning and to make the process fun and enjoyable. My lessons will help you or your children gain a deeper understanding of the art of chess and improve your confidence and ability to play the game.

Great lesson with Kyle, looking forward to next time!

Kyle makes chess easier to understand and fun at the same time. He starts with the basics along with working on what you need. I keep notes from my week of playing online and we discuss what happened as he provides tips. I Highly  recommend Kyle.

Kyle is great. Patient, knowledgeable, efficient. My son learned a lot over the course of his first 3 intro lessons and we are definitely booking more. Thanks, Kyle!

We just finished our first session. Kyle did a great job evaluating skill level and adapting his lesson accordingly.

Kyle is patient and upbeat with this adult beginner!  He is very knowledgeable and explained the rules plus player etiquette clearly.  It was a great start for me - I’m looking forward to working with Kyle.

Amazing Teacher. It was so much fun learning Chess from Kyle. 

He started teaching with a wonderful Opera House Game and there was no looking back!

Thanks Kyle.

Highly recommend Kyle! In addition to being an impressive player, he is a great teacher. Very good at explaining concepts and he doesn't make you feel dumb. He does a good job listening and makes the lesson about what is most helpful to YOU vs just talking about what he wants to. 5 stars!

My lesson with Kyle was very instructive.
I highly recommend him.

After 2 years of weekly classes, I can say with confidnece that Kyle is a great teacher!  He’s patient, supportive and so knowledgeable.  As an adult learner I am really enjoying his classes!
