About David

I started playing chess in my early teens and quickly established myself as one of the best Juniors in the North East of England. I stopped playing for a few years while I went to University where I achieved a B.S.c 2:1 in IT.

Now I am in my 40s with two small children I want to share my chess knowledge with the right students who want to improve their game. I currently teach privately as well as in local schools in Newcastle.

In September 2023 I reached my lowest ECF rating in years at 1998, I was always talented and can beat FM's on my day but then lose to a 1800 the next week. At this point I was sick of losing to players less than my rating. I set myself the target of becoming either a ECF National Master or a FIDE Candidate Master within the next 5 years. I reassessed many aspects on how I approach the game and have gained about 130 points in the last 15 months. I am on my journey, can I help you with yours?

About the lesson

Do you really want to improve? Sick of losing to opponents who think you should be beating? Learn how to set yourself realistic goals and how you can work to wards achieving them. Stop bad habits and learn new ways to think about chess by analysing you games with an experianced human rather than a computer!

I have known David for perhaps 30+ years. He has an excellent insight into chess and is able to transmit this to people/students in a language everybody can understand. He is friendly. has bundles of empathy and energy, great inter-personal skills and equally at home teaching young students or adults of any (chess playing) strength.

Currently the Development manager of our (large) local chess club - highly recommended.
