About Stephen J

I am a Legal Executive with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics. My father taught me how to play chess and ever since I have been playing chess whenever I can. I recently returned to Ireland after volunteering in Spain for a year. I helped primary school children with homework and I gave language classes. I helped run activities for the children where we danced, sang, acted, played chess and various sports. Before that, I ran workshops to help young adults discover opportunities and find jobs. I encouraged teenagers to become peer mediators and ran workshops on peace education.

About the lesson

Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.

The focus at first is to help you understand how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.

Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.

When I was school, I joined the chess club he founded and was taught a lot of the basics of chess by him. I believe him to be a good chess teacher due to his interest in chess and his patient character.
