♞Chess coaching for adults

Start where you are.

Two ways in — one if you're new to the game, one if you're stuck on a rating. Pick the one that sounds like you.

Learn properly

You know how the pieces move and not much else. You want to stop guessing and start understanding what you're looking at.

Stuck on a rating

Break the plateau

You've been at roughly the same rating for months. You've watched the videos and bought the courses and nothing has shifted.

I climbed this ladder recently enough to remember it.

I'm Kurtis. FIDE-rated, peak 1955 rapid, and an adult who learned this the slow way while working full time. I'm not a grandmaster, and for the players I coach that's the point — I still remember what it felt like not to understand, which means I can name the step you're missing instead of assuming you already have it.
