I’m a former Scottish National High School Chess Champion, and I’ve played for Scotland in international tournaments. My online rating sits between 2500 and 2700, and I’ve reached a FIDE peak of 2000, with my current live standard rating of 1930. Over the years, I’ve won a bunch of chess tournaments, scored wins against a few Grandmasters, and coached both kids and adults. My online lessons fit all levels—whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your game. We’ll work on calculation, strategy, openings, and, most importantly, the confidence you need to really boost your chess.
