About Tony
I started playing Chess aged 11 and won the Guildford Chess Club Championship 3 times in my teens. I was a leading UK Chess Junior and achieved a notable draw against former World Chess Champion Karpov in a clock simultaneous he gave to 10 leading UK juniors. These days I concentrate on coaching and my main playing is blitz/rapid internet where my Chess.com and Li.Chess ratings exceed 2300 ELO. My last Classical Chess tournament was Hastings Masters December 2025 where I achieved a 50% score.
I decided to take up Chess Coaching because I wanted to pass on some of my learnings and love for the game to novices and intermediate Chess players. I have always enjoyed tutoring and coaching.
Having taken early retirement from working for a major Global Food Company following a major restructuring, I have set myself up in business as a Chess Coach. I am a registered ECF Coach and have enhanced DBS Certification.
I have a patient, friendly and structured approach to coaching.
