About Forrest
My name is Forrest, and I have been playing chess for over 15 years. Over that time, I have developed a strong understanding of the game and a passion for helping others learn it in a way that feels approachable and enjoyable.
I specialize in teaching beginners and newer players who may feel intimidated by chess at first. My goal is to create a patient, encouraging learning environment where students can build confidence step by step. I focus on clear explanations, practical strategies, and interactive lessons that make learning both effective and fun.
I take professionalism seriously and always aim to be reliable, respectful, and prepared for every lesson. I understand that every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to match each person’s pace and goals.
Whether you are completely new to chess or looking to strengthen your fundamentals, I look forward to helping you improve and enjoy the game.

Hi, I’m Forrest, and I’ve been playing chess for over 15 years. I specialize in teaching beginners and newer players who want to learn the game in a simple, enjoyable, and low-pressure way.
My teaching style focuses on building confidence first. I break chess concepts down into easy-to-understand lessons instead of overwhelming students with advanced theory. I believe the best way to learn chess is through a mix of explanation, practice games, and reviewing mistakes together in a supportive environment.
A typical lesson may include:
Learning opening principles and piece development
Practicing tactics and checkmate patterns
Playing training games together
Reviewing mistakes and improving decision-making
Building confidence in real matches
What sets me apart is my patience and ability to explain chess in a beginner-friendly way. I understand how confusing chess can feel at first, so I focus on making lessons interactive, encouraging, and fun.
My lessons are ideal for:
Complete beginners
Kids and teens
Casual players wanting to improve
Adults learning chess for the first time
Players rated beginner to intermediate level
