About Joe

Hello everyone!

I’m Joe. I started playing chess during lockdown in 2020 and quickly became obsessed with the game. Because I began as a complete beginner myself, I understand the challenges that new players face and what actually helps people improve.

Since then, I’ve gone from a 400 rating to over 2000 on Chess.com, and I’ve been coaching for the last 3 years. I reached 1500 within my first year, then spent the next two years pushing past 2000, so I know both how to improve quickly and how to break through plateaus.

Improvement in chess does take work, but with consistent effort and good guidance, results will come. Whether you choose coaching with me or someone else, having structure and accountability makes a huge difference.

I hope my enthusiasm for the game comes across, and I’d love the opportunity to help you improve and enjoy chess more along the way!

About the lesson

  • All levels

Languages in which the lesson is available :

English

Consultation Lesson:

I offer a free 30-minute consultation where we can talk about your current level, your goals, and how I can help you improve. We may also play a game together, and I’ll explain how I structure my coaching and tailor lessons to each student.

A typical lesson includes:

Warm-up puzzles:
Real positions taken from master games, online games, or your own games. These are personalised to target weaknesses, improve pattern recognition, and reinforce ideas in openings you already play.

Main lesson:
The focus varies depending on your needs and goals. Topics can include:

- Opening preparation and understanding
- Middlegame planning and positional ideas
- Endgames
- Calculation and visualisation training
- Game analysis
- Practical decision-making and time management

After the lesson:
I create Lichess studies covering the material from our session, so you can revisit everything in your own time. For in-person lessons, I’ll usually prepare these afterwards from my notes and memory.
