History
Learn chess with an experienced and patient teacher
I'm a patient and experienced chess teacher with 11 years of experience teaching children and adults. My teaching approach is practical and fun. We look at the chess games that you've played, and I teach the fundamentals of chess strategy and tactics based on these games.
I have more than twenty years of tournament experience, and I was awarded the title of First Category player by the United States Chess Federation, along with a rating of 2050 (Expert). I have tournament wins against master-level players rated as high as 2300.
Whether you prefer in-person or online lessons I will work with your schedule to meet your needs.
The best way to improve is to regularly play rated games, analyze the games with a strong player, and learn from the books and videos that are well-matched to your skill level. I provide advice on all these resources and have teaching materials prepared if you are interested in spending some time on them.
Please message me here at this site for more information and to chat about your needs and goals.

Chris is patient and thorough with my son. He also takes his time in explaining each and every detail to better understand each move. I will highly recommend Chris as a chess instructor!

Chris was an excellent teacher. He walked me through a game that I had lost and we talked about what moves I could have made to prevent it. I look forward to our future lessons together
