About Richard


Bio

My love for teaching and tutoring really took off during my time in the Marine Corps. I enjoyed teaching interested friends and family concepts and ideas that I was familiar with, joining the Marines made that enjoyment blossom into a full burning passion of mine. Teaching the other Marines how to play and developing their skills alongside my own was something I was really able to do well, quite so during our eight-month deployment.

My love for teaching and tutoring really took off during my time in the Marine Corps. I enjoyed teaching interested friends and family concepts and ideas that I was familiar with, joining the Marines made that enjoyment blossom into a full burning passion of mine. Teaching the other Marines how to play and developing their skills alongside my own was something I was really able to do well, quite so during our eight-month deployment.

I have been playing chess since I could sit upright. I played with one of the greatest chess players I have ever sat across from, my grandfather, when I was nothing more then a novice. Behind him in the line up was my father, a very sturdy and multi faceted player, and my late Uncle Jack, mastermind of the late game and the mind game. Being an infant in a room of merciless giants quickly developed me into an able and stalwart player in my own right.

I have 20+ years of experience with all ages and difficulties. My chess careers ups and downs and constant relearning of the game, my own maturing view of all from the opening 10 to late game pawn play. I am best suited for levels 1-6 (1-10).

I played chess from early childhood, gaining early understanding. I have taught many people the game, both children and adults, including dozens of Marines while deployed. I love Chess, and want to further the player base and their skill base.
