About Jei


Bio

I'm Jei! Chess has been a big part of my life for many years, and I've had the privilege of competing at the highest levels. I earned the title of FIDE Master after winning the Asian Schools Chess Championship back in 2014 and have represented Taiwan in many international tournaments, including the World Chess Olympiad also in 2014 where I finished as the second-highest rating gainer among over 1000 players. My peak FIDE rating was 2100, and my Chess.com rating is 2500.

I'm Jei! Chess has been a big part of my life for many years, and I've had the privilege of competing at the highest levels. I earned the title of FIDE Master after winning the Asian Schools Chess Championship back in 2014 and have represented Taiwan in many international tournaments, including the World Chess Olympiad also in 2014 where I finished as the second-highest rating gainer among over 1000 players. My peak FIDE rating was 2100, and my Chess.com rating is 2500.

Beyond my playing career, I have dedicated my time to teaching and mentoring beginner and intermediate players. I focus on helping students build a strong foundation in chess by breaking down complex ideas into simple, practical lessons. My approach emphasizes strategy, tactics, and pattern recognition, ensuring that players not only improve but also enjoy the learning process.

Whether it’s understanding key opening principles, sharpening middle-game plans, or mastering endgames, I tailor my lessons to each student’s level and goals. My aim is to make chess engaging and accessible, helping players develop confidence and critical thinking skills both on and off the board. So, whether you're new to chess or looking to break through a rating barrier, I'm here to help you improve and reach the next level. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or would like to schedule a lesson!
