Welcome to my Chess Tutoring page!
As an educator, I’ve always enjoyed teaching chess because the skills that help us to succeed over the chess board (patience, timing, awareness, determination, calculation, planning, stamina, sportsmanship, etc…), these same skills can also help us to be successful in life.
I hold the USCF CM Title and I am also a former US National Amateur Team Chess Champion. Additionally, I’ve competed in over 100 competitive chess tournaments and I am currently rated USCF 2187 which ranks in the top 100 active players in my home state of Florida, USA. My most memorable professional chess experience to date was playing on the winning USAT National Champions Team “Armegeddon Your Pieces” in 2011 and going 2-0 in the internet playoffs clinching 1st Place ahead of over 600 competing teams vying for this coveted title.
I’m a patient chess coach with a broad chess opening repertoire, a player with a deep positional understanding, an endgame specialist, and I also excel in both attacking and defensive/prophylaxis chess play. Among my favorite professional chess players are Tigran Petrosian, Anatoly Karpov, Alexey Dreev, Vladimir Kramnik, Pentala Harikrishna, Hikaru Nakamura, Daniel King, Fabiano Caruana, and many more!
