Many Adult Improvers I have worked with have even “graduated’’ by reaching my current level and going beyond - a case of ‘the student surpasses the non-Master’ that I am actually really proud of as a teacher. In that time I have had the pleasure of working with many students, some of whom were almost completely new to the game and wanted to kickstart their progress, others who had begun at roughly the same time as I had and were frustrated with their lack of progress. It has been almost a year since I began coaching. You can try my coaching live and for free, in a 60-minute trial lesson with me. This is the essence of my coaching philosophy which you will hear more about in this post. There are plenty of books about chess, but there are no books about you playing chess. I don’t care that much about the chess, I care about you. But when it comes to the analysis of my students' games, that is exactly what I say.

Maybe that isn’t what you want to hear from your chess coach. I love hearing about them because I take sadistic pleasure from it, and it also makes me feel better about my own chess-induced meltdowns.īut when it comes to chess improvement, we have to face the opposite version of this truth:

So many regular adults, so many dramatic child-like outbursts. The strong emotions that we thought we had put behind us as adults come rushing back to the surface through our experiences with chess.
