About Jacob
Hello! My name is Jacob and I’ve been passionate about chess since childhood, with nearly 30 years of experience playing this incredible game. As a Certified English Chess Federation County Master with a classical rating of 2110, I’ve achieved many accomplishments in my chess career, including holding the top board position at my local chess club, where I am the reigning club champion and knockout champion.
I love chess not just for the competition but for how it sharpens the mind and teaches valuable life skills like patience, strategy, and resilience. Teaching has become a natural extension of my passion, as I want to help others discover the joy and challenges of chess. Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your skills, I’m here to guide you every step of the way with tailored, interactive lessons designed to meet your needs.
I’m committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where you can grow your skills, gain confidence, and enjoy the game of chess at any level.
