About Kelly
Calculation and visualization remain the most difficult hurdles for students because these skills require deep internal discipline. My coaching practice spans 13 years of dedicated work where I transitioned from competitive tournament play toward full-time instruction. After winning state-level junior coaching awards, I found that helping players bridge the gap between 1200 and 1800 ratings offers the most satisfaction.
My methodology relies on deep game analysis and strict blunder checking to ensure progress is grounded in reality. Beyond the board, I rely on my International Master title to explain complex pawn structures and opening principles. Mastery of these concepts creates a solid foundation for every student I guide toward success.

Do you find yourself wondering why your opening principles fall apart under pressure in competitive tournament preparation? My approach balances intense calculation practice with 8 minute feedback intervals to ensure you remain engaged throughout the session.
By utilizing the International Master framework, I provide structured guidance that simplifies complex middlegame decisions for players at all levels. Weekly curated puzzle sets serve as the core of our training because they force direct engagement with tactical patterns. These exercises ensure you consistently improve your ability to spot winning combinations during actual play. Recording and notation practice makes analyzing your own games a very rewarding and enjoyable part of your routine.
