Michael Takahashi
Iowa City, IA

Striving to give you tools that will last a lifetime!

Hello Everyone! My name is Michael Takahashi. I am a USCF NM (National Master) with a USCF rating of 2205 and a FIDE rating of 2051. I originally started coaching because I wanted to give back to my community; that's given so much to me. Throughout my playing career, I have had the privilege of working with GM Mykhaylo Oleksiyenko, GM Gregory Kaidanov, and NM James Neal, to name a few. I hope to bring some of what they taught me to help you improve! In 2022, I became a chess coach with the Vancouver, B.C. Canada Organization "Focus Chess," and a year later, I joined the organization "Dazzling Minds Academy" as their primary online chess coach. As for some of my playing experiences, I've had many notable successes. My recent accomplishments include earning the USCF NM (National Master) title in 2022 and finishing in the top 10 of the 2022 US Junior Open. I also have had substantial success at the state level, qualifying for the Iowa Closed Championships for four straight years from 2017-2020, which included a runner-up finish in the 2020 campaign. In January of that year, I qualified for the National Denker Tournament of High School State Champions for the first time after winning the Iowa Denker Qualifying Championships.

Timothy Mitchell
Harvey, IL

Chess Teacher

I have been playing chess for 2 decades. I volunteered as an assistant coach for the high school I attended for 3 years and helped them improve and compete in the state competitions each year. I continue now in playing and learning, and love to share my knowledge of the game. To me, it is a game of creativity and life lessons for anyone who plays. It gives you insight on your personality, helps with critical thinking and reasoning, and humbles you in many different ways. I love teaching this to individuals of any experience level.

Teaching Chess to Beginners

I have been playing chess for the last 4 years. I am not a ranked player. I have received occasional tutoring in chess myself, and while I am not in the master range, I do want to teach beginners the basics of chess, such as how the pieces move and some basic strategies. This would prep them for more advanced teachers who would take them farther into the chess world.

I have been playing chess for 4 years and have achieved a 1200 rating, which is a testament to my dedication to the game and my skill level. I have participated in numerous local tournaments, consistently achieving top placements in my rating area. Although I may not have formal teaching experience, I have regularly tutored my peers and friends in chess.

My enthusiasm for chess is infectious, and I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to inspire others to love the game as much as I do. Chess is not just a hobby for me; it's a lifelong passion.

Scott Chason
Mount Sterling, KY

Theology Student, Graphic Design and Video Production, Chess, Math and English Tutoring

I first learned to play chess when I was 8 years old, so I have been playing for 28 years. I haven't found time in my extracurricular activities to become officially rated under FIDE. But I play chess at an estimated ELO of 1600 - 1800. My particular expertise in chess is explaining the ideas behind named openings, and the possible variations that could arrise within the first 15 moves of said openings. I can't get you to a Master Chess level. However, I can make it so that if your opponent doesn't know at least the top three variations of the opening that you are playing, you will beat them every time because you will be prepared knowing what the pitfalls and traps are in these openings. I specialize in romantic chess, with openings like the King's Gambit, the Vienna Gambit, The Morphy Gambit against the Sicilian, The French, The Jaenisch Gambit against Ruy Lopez, The Traxler Gambit against the Fried Liver Attack, and the King's Indian.

Aman Sharma
Peterborough, ON, Canada

Experienced 1725 FIDE-Rated Chess Player

I had a Peak FIDE rating of 1771 in February 2018 and a current FIDE rating of 1725. Chess is a mysterious game with a lot of hidden beauty in it. The magical combinations of Mikhail Tal, the flawless endgame technique of Capablanca, and the hidden novelties of Vladimir Kramnik. This game of 64 squares and 32 pieces has given me a chance to get to know myself even better. I wish to explore some of the beauties with you. The lesson is going to be conducted in a very professional and interactive manner, I will put up a lot of questions and will ensure that my students understand and can implement my teachings in their own game. What makes me a unique instructor is the fact that I prepare my students psychologically to face all the situations in a tournament game. I assure you that my teachings will not only help you to become a better chess player but also a better person. Looking forward to having a wonderful session with you!

Lisa Williams
Morrow, GA

Experienced Tutor and Learning Coach

I have been an avid Chess student and player since the age of seven. I am currently a member of Chess.com and have been a Coach on Chesskid.com for 3+ years, but I have been coaching students of all ages and proficiencies for over 10 years. To me, Chess is not just a game; it is a sport. Chess is not only fun; it also teaches life lessons, such as strategy, how to think and plan several moves ahead, how to adjust or "pivot" when a plan doesn't work out exactly as you intend, and how to outthink your opponents. I strongly believe learning to play Chess well can not only make you a winner at the sport itself but also a winner at life.

Chess Teacher

I have taught private and smaller-group chess lessons for several years and have administered chess activity for larger groups as well. I can explain even more complicated concepts in a concise and understandable way, and one of my preferred ways of teaching is to allow students to learn from experience, such as analyzing games afterwards or having them try to find the correct move as we play.
