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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
