Candidate Master McLean Handjaba fell in love with the 64 squares of a chess board in early 2009 and took it up as a professional sport in 2012 when he qualified for the Namibian National Team and 40t... h Chess Olympiad in Istanbul, Turkey. In 2014, he started chess coaching while in his law school and in 2015 he went on to establish Namibia's most vibrant and dynamic chess academy (#RubinsteinChessAcademy) in Windhoek, Namibia, which was recently crowned Academy of the Year in December 2023 by the Namibian Chess Federation. With a peak FIDE rating of 2139, the CM is not only a 3 time Chess Olympian, but also carries with him FIDE titles of School's Instructor and FIDE Arbiter. So, for as little as U$15 p/h, you get an accredited Chess Coach that is well-rounded with positional, tactical and endgame based training that was developed with over 10 years of experience.read more

Hi, I am McLean, you can call me Coach Mc or just Mc. I am a lawyer by profession, but I love coaching chess more. Oh... and noodles, I love noodles as well. I have a passion and great love for 3 thi... ngs, dogs, chess and children. I work best as a chess coach and find peace and purpose every time I get a high-five from one of my students. During our session, we will set goals, and then I will tailor our sessions to maximise fulfilment of such goals. I listen to a lot of Comedy Central, documentaries and good music, and I am well vested in an array of general topics that we can discuss as we take a breather during our sessions. I will be eagerly waiting to hear your story and help you on your journey with chess coaching or law tutoring for those that aspire or have a keen interest in legal matters.read more
