My favorite chess players include Russian players Tigran Petrosian, Anatoly Karpov, Alexey Dreev, Vladimir Kramnik, Pentala Harikrishna, Hikaru Nakamura, Daniel King, Fabiano Caruana, and many more!
Testimonials from Students/Parents:
“I began working with Dr. M in early 2022. Since then, my rating has risen more than 200 points, and I feel much more confident in my assessment of positions and in my positional understanding at the board. I have a larger and more effective opening repertoire than when we began, and I feel my tactical eye has sharpened, as well, especially with his “voice in my head” as I calculate. Highly recommended!” -Scott C.
“Coach M has a profound knowledge and skill in chess, and his class is both interesting and informative. Coach M tailors the class to fulfill the kid’s requirements in different stages, with abundant supportive materials and activities to go with the student’s needs. Taking Coach M’s class brings a great sense of what a “chess tournament” is when there’s not many tournaments to attend in Taiwan, helping the kid to achieve the rating quickly when the opportunity comes.” – Chiayi
“It’s not long since Raphael started his coaching lesson with Coach M, who has been instrumental in enhancing his strategic thinking and fostering his love for chess. The lessons are not only always informative but also incredibly fun and interactive, making learning an enjoyable experience. Raphael has grown in skill and confidence, thanks to Coach M’s engaging and dedicated approach.” -Jeannette
Regarding teaching, I offer one-on-one tutoring or online tutoring via chess.com for students of all ages and those with a FIDE rating of 2000 or below. As an educator, I’ve always enjoyed teaching chess because it requires patience, time management, careful observation, determination, calculation, and move planning. Aren’t these also essential for success in life? So, whether you want to learn the basics of chess or improve your skills, under my professional guidance, I will help you achieve your goals.
