Hello, I am Benjamin! Long time chess player and chess coach. Playing competitively since 2014, actively coaching since 2019, and received in 2022 FIDE certification as a developmental instructor.
I have spent my time coaching primarily children ages 6-14, and older individuals from 60 onwards. Three of my students are active tournament players who have reached significant accomplishments, such as placing in the top 10 of the state elementary championship. I have taught for a little over two years at a local senior center.
My coaching is strongly suited for students looking to make serious progress and work hard. Centered around my training are a few key components: tactical work, openings, and positional ideas. Tactical training will be at the heart of our work, serving as the foundation for opening and positional ideas. Opening study will be focused on the purpose and links of each move, rather than the monotonous memorization that finds common way in chess. Positional ideas will weave together with the opening, forming a united game plan for every game.
Best of luck, and looking forward to our trainings.
