Expert insights and strategies from our coaches
Finding the right chess coach can be the turning point in your chess journey. Whether you're a beginner trying to understand basic tactics or an intermediate player aiming to break through a rating plateau, the right coach makes all the difference.
Hiring a coach is the single best investment for your chess, but only if you know how to use it. A coach is not a magician who waves a wand and grants you 200 rating points. They are a resource.
Starting chess lessons with a coach can feel intimidating. What will you talk about? How much preparation do you need? Will they judge your playing ability? Understanding what typically happens in a first chess lesson can ease these concerns and help you get maximum value from your coaching experience.
