Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.

The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.

Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.

I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

I have been playing chess since 1985. My dad quit playing me in 1988 when he was never able to win again. Chess is the most classic strategy game of all time.

If you want to learn how to play chess I can teach you. If you are able to beat me then you graduate the class. I doubt you ever will, but I would be very happy for you if you could. My goal will be to teach you to put me out of a job.

Then you will be able to say:

"I've been waiting for you, [Kenneth]. We meet at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master."

Chess is much more than a game. It is a powerful tool for developing strategic thinking, concentration, creativity, and decision-making skills that are useful both on the board and in everyday life.

In my lessons, I focus not only on teaching the rules and theory of chess, but on helping students understand the logic behind every move. We work on improving calculation, pattern recognition, positional understanding, and practical decision-making during real games. My goal is to help students think independently and confidently at the board.

Lessons are adapted to the level and goals of each student. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of the game, including piece movement, basic tactics, checkmates, and essential strategic ideas. Intermediate players will improve their tactical vision, positional play, opening understanding, and endgame technique. Advanced players will work on deep analysis, complex strategic plans, tournament preparation, and psychological aspects of competitive chess.

During the lessons we analyze games, solve instructive positions, practice tactical puzzles, and play training games with detailed feedback. I also teach students how to analyze their own games — one of the most important skills for long-term improvement.

My teaching style is structured, supportive, and interactive. I believe chess should be both intellectually challenging and enjoyable, and I always try to create an engaging learning atmosphere for my students.

I am the founder of the YesChess Chess School, where our international team currently trains around 300 students from 35 countries around the world.

I have been playing chess since 1985. My dad quit playing me in 1988 when he was never able to win again. Chess is the most classic strategy game of all time.

If you want to learn how to play chess I can teach you. If you are able to beat me then you graduate the class. I doubt you ever will, but I would be very happy for you if you could. My goal will be to teach you to put me out of a job.

Then you will be able to say:

"I've been waiting for you, [Kenneth]. We meet at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master."
(Anakin to Obi-Wan, Star Wars IV: A New Hope, 1977)

As a beginner, you'll learn the rules of the game and great ways at which you can advance your pieces.

As an intermediate, you'll learn how to create and spot forks, pins, skewers and checkmates.

As an advanced, you'll learn strategic ways of placing your pieces. I would teach you how to utilize your knight and queen as a great combo for tactical and strategic gameplays and quick checkmates.

Chess is much more than a game. It is a powerful tool for developing strategic thinking, concentration, creativity, and decision-making skills that are useful both on the board and in everyday life.

In my lessons, I focus not only on teaching the rules and theory of chess, but on helping students understand the logic behind every move. We work on improving calculation, pattern recognition, positional understanding, and practical decision-making during real games. My goal is to help students think independently and confidently at the board.

Lessons are adapted to the level and goals of each student. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of the game, including piece movement, basic tactics, checkmates, and essential strategic ideas. Intermediate players will improve their tactical vision, positional play, opening understanding, and endgame technique. Advanced players will work on deep analysis, complex strategic plans, tournament preparation, and psychological aspects of competitive chess.

During the lessons we analyze games, solve instructive positions, practice tactical puzzles, and play training games with detailed feedback. I also teach students how to analyze their own games — one of the most important skills for long-term improvement.

My teaching style is structured, supportive, and interactive. I believe chess should be both intellectually challenging and enjoyable, and I always try to create an engaging learning atmosphere for my students.

I am the founder of the YesChess Chess School, where our international team currently trains around 300 students from 35 countries around the world.
