About Keith
I'm Irish, but I currently live in Portugal, before that I lived in The Netherlands where I completed my degree in Mathematics. Since then I've been working as a Math tutor and in a Poker company for several years.
I'm eager to merge my passion for chess with my aptitude for teaching which is why I'm offering lessons.
I have several hobbies and interests alongside chess. I like to run and walk my dog to keep fit, and lately I've been making custom watches and wallets.
Regarding chess, I began playing in July 2018. I had some minor experience beforehand (I knew how to move the pieces). Since starting in 2018, I've got my rapid rating on chess.com to a peak of 2000. When factoring in Blitz and Bullet games, I've played over 20,000 online chess games.

I am a very passionate chess player, I love to play in an aggressive and dynamic way. To me, a win where you sacrifice as many pieces as you can counts 10x more than a drawn out pawn ending.
So for my lessons, I focus on attacking chess and breaking down the fear of losing material on the chess board.
Of course there is a place for more conservative and defensive play. These are essential skills to gain mastery of Chess, but I believe that developing a killer instinct on the chess board is an essential component to becoming a strong player!
I incorporate a number of methods to achieve this goal, from game analysis, to live play, repertoire building, tactical puzzles and conceptual discussions. I'm happy to adapt the direction of the classes according to what the student wants and needs.
I also have a strong mathematics and data analysis background which can be helpful for those who want a deeper look into their game history. I have conducted extensive repertoire analysis on my own games to figure out the strong and weak points in my openings. So I have plenty to offer anybody looking for a more structured and data driven approach to improving.
