About
As an experienced chess instructor, I have spent 8 years helping both kids and adults improve their game. My teaching style is designed to be both practical and enjoyable. By examining your previous match play, we can assess your strengths and weaknesses and develop a solid understanding of chess strategy and tactics.

With over two decades of competitive experience, I've earned the title of First Category player and an Expert rating of 2050 from the United States Chess Federation. I've even secured wins over master-level players with ratings as high as 2300.

Flexible scheduling is a priority, whether you'd like to meet face-to-face or connect online. To improve your game, it's important to play rated matches regularly, assess the outcomes with a skilled player, and study books and videos in line with your current ability. I am happy to provide guidance on these resources or offer customized teaching tools.

Chris, who is an expert in chess, has been able to teach me basic strategies to form a solid foundation despite my total lack of knowledge about the game. The approach he uses for lessons is enjoyable- playing real games and analyzing the decision-making process and strategies used. A highly flexible individual, he adjusts his schedule to fit my needs, and his teaching approach is highly motivating.
