Chess_with_Will

Hello! I'm Will. Chess has been a lifelong hobby of mine since I learned to play at my elementary school chess club. Since then, I have played countless online games and competed in many tournaments. While I am no master, I have taken up coaching and have become skilled at helping beginners grasp critical aspects of the game and improve quickly. 

I have coached with Magnus Chess Academy and on Outschool since early 2023. I specialize in working with young players, ages 6-18, and I have worked primarily with players rated under 1200. But I am happy to help anyone on their chess journey however I can, regardless of age or rating!

*you'll have to scroll down on the MCA page, I'm not as high rated as some of the other coaches

Here are some nice things my students have said about me:

"Will has taught me numerous things about chess. I have been exposed to multiple ideas and strategies while taking this class. I have learned various openings as well as opening variations. He has always pushed me to think outside of the box with tactics and puzzle-solving, which has improved my overall chess performance. My chess rating has grown exponentially while taking this class. Will always has a smile on his face and I will undoubtedly be returning to this amazing chess class!"

"Will has been helpful and encouraging for my 11-yr-old's chess game. Will is prepared for lessons, he provides a variety of learning options, and he's flexible to answer my son's many questions!  Great experience! "
