Play Better Chess!

Personalized coaching to accelerate your improvement

Are you overwhelmed by the number of chess resources out there?

Do you know more about chess, but your rating doesn’t show it?

Are you stuck in a plateau?

The truth is, getting better at chess isn’t that complicated. But you have to focus on what actually moves the needle.

I’ll help you stay focused on the fundamentals that every player needs to improve:

  1. Play real games

  2. Review your games

  3. Solve challenging puzzles

Most players make the same mistakes over and over without ever realizing it. We’ll review your games to find the mistakes that are causing you to lose games, then create a personalized plan to turn that weakness into a strength.

I’m Nate Solon, a chess master, coach, and author.

I help busy adults increase their rating, deepen their understanding, and enjoy the game more…no matter what level they're starting from.
