About Faiq Rafaie
I am a Malaysian National Arbiter and an active competitive chess player dedicated to helping students build a strong foundation in chess. My experience in both officiating and competitive tournaments allows me to teach the game with accuracy, discipline, and practical insight.
I provide structured, patient, and engaging lessons tailored to each student's learning pace. Whether you are learning chess for the first time or preparing for school and local tournaments, I will guide you step by step to improve your understanding, confidence, and decision-making over the board.
My goal is not only to teach students how to play chess but also to develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong appreciation for the game.
