Testimonials
“I have 2 sons who have been learning chess online from Richie for almost 6 months. At the start they were just beginners who just knew the basics rules of chess. Richie has gradually helped them build up knowledge of strategies and openings, confidence and most importantly the skill of being careful and thinking ahead of the opponent. I can see a big difference in their chess playing. They know more of how to play, what strategies they plan to use and why they are choosing to make each chess move; compared to the past where they just cluelessly move chess pieces. Richie also often arranges tournaments for his students to increase their experience and learn from others. The environment in the tournaments is calm and friendly, it is great for them to meet and make friends with kids who have the same interest and ability in chess playing. I am very happy and grateful with Richie’s help in developing my children’s chess abilities.”
“Richard has been great to deal with and my son is enjoying his lessons. He has improved enough that he is now equally matched to my husband, which is pretty good for a 10 year old! He has also introduced us to the kiwi chess team and a good safe online option for playing other people in chess.”
“Learnt lots of new things like opening moves, hanging pieces, piece values, everything has really improved my chess. It was also quite fun to learn with him. Richard is very nice and he taught me lots of things I wouldn’t have taught myself.”
