I've known Dezheng since 2013. Dezheng is easy-going, calm, composed, hard-working, and has a very professional attitude all around. A 2100+ rated NM in chess, Dezheng has great understandng of the game. He is proficient in both the theoretical as well as the tactical side of the game. He is patient and precise with his gameplay and analysis, and will be able to provide excellent insights and specific coaching advices as an instructor. Students will be able to clearly understand their strength and weaknesses in their game and improve under the coaching of Dezheng.
I initially met Dezheng over a class we shared in university, and I quickly recognized his talents in leadership skills and taking initiatives. He was one of the people that often constantly participated in conversations in class, and always gave out critical feedback to help others improve.
I remember that we quickly bonded over a course, and he invited me to join his venture capital club. His ambition always inspires me, because not only does he aim to improve by constantly putting himself in situations where he can interact and gain a variety of experience, he also hopes to provide the best club experience to other executives and club members, so he can help everyone to grow together as a unit. Under his leadership, we were able to help educate many students on the topic of venture capital, and other executives were all able to learn important work and life lessons by being a part of his journey.
I personally recommend Dezhong as a Superprof to other students because of his commitment to truly help people improve. He isn’t in it just for himself, but genuinely trying to raise the bar to those around him, and I believe under his guidance, he will only have a positive impact on students.Dezheng was really good at explaining difficult concepts and breaking down each game into easily understandable components. I was new to chess so I had no idea how things work, all the rules and different strategies seemed really convoluted at first. The most exposure I had prior to my classes with Dezheng was watching chess matches on the internet, and I didn’t think it was really for me because the complexities of the game were hard for me to grasp. Nevertheless, I decided to give chess a try anyways.
My first classes with Dezheng was different than what I expected: we started from scratch and he gave me a simple, big picture breakdown of the rules. We started from there, then he brought his own experience into the lessons and gave me examples of how to effectively utilize each strategy. I originally thought chess was really complicated and it still kind of is, but Dezheng was very patient, and very skilled in breaking down concepts into digestible pieces. In particular, he was good at teaching me how to recognize patterns.
I recommend Dezheng if you want an instructor who is patient and friendly. He understands the nuances of the game and has an intuitive grasp of strategy. Your time spent will not be lost and you will come out knowing more about chess and how to leverage the rules.Dezheng has taught me some useful tips and strategies on how to improve my chess skills that I never would’ve thought of if not for him. He is friendly, patient, and just overall a great guy and really takes the time to explain the game through various examples of how to put yourself in the best position to win a game. I guarantee that if you are ever in need of someone who is both dependable and passionate in the game of chess, I would not hesitate to recommend Dezheng as a chess tutor!
Dezheng has a well-proven track record in chess coupled with a natural talent for the game making him one of the best chess players in the country. He is also honest, inquisitive and patient as a person which are qualities that make a great teacher in my opinion. If you are looking to get your skills in chess to the next level, he is the right person to teach you.
When I entered high school in Grade 8 and was looking into the chess club, Dezheng was extremely welcoming and more than willing to share and teach younger students of the game. His knowledge and ability to explain are highly polished and I highly reccommend him for those wanting to get more into chess.
Back in high school, I was a member of the chess club with Dezheng, a far, far more experienced player than me, who was the president of the club. On numerous occasions, he greatly helped me with my chess, be it delving into technical specifics of a certain game or discussing computer chess engines, a hobby subject of mine. I've always found him a pleasure to deal with, and can say for sure that he has a ton of passion for the game. Highly recommended to anyone who's looking for help with chess.
Dezheng is a very knowledgeable chess player and responds to my chess needs. He makes sure I understand the reason behind each concept and each move. He is very patient and methodical in his teachings. I was able to become an independent thinker and be more confident every time I start a chess game.
Dezheng is a very dedicated teacher and is one of the best chess players I've met. He is friendly, passionate, and very patient with students. He will go into great detail about all the tactics and psychology involved in the game and will pinpoint your areas of improvement. I learned a lot from his lessons and I would highly recommend Dezheng to anyone who wants to improve their chess skills at all levels!
Dez is a really kind and knowledgeable teacher. He covers every topic extensively and is patient until I understand. He is very hardworking and passionate for chess and it shows when he is teaching. Feel lucky to be learning from him!
Dezheng is an amazing teacher who is able to push you farther in chess than you ever thought you could reach. At first I had low confidence in my abilities, but after a few lessons I was playing chess like I was a super GM. He has every single quality that you would want as an instructor, which would include being patient with you, listens carefully to your questions and is also able to explain things clearly. This is all without mentioning how he is one of Canada's top chess players. I would definitely recommend Dezheng as your chess instructor.
During the pandemic I got quite into chess and when I felt I really wanted to step up my game I did a lesson with Dezheng. He has a great understanding of the game, and has the rating to back that up. He's super passionate about chess and even runs his own chess youtube channel which you should check out. He also checks in with me occasionally to see how I've been doing which is a good reminder for me to keep working on my chess.
Dezheng is a truly caring and amazingly skilled chess instructor who has an immense and deep understanding of the game of chess. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to step up their game.
Dezheng has vast success, experience, and knowledge in the game of chess. He is patient, professional, and extremely genuine. Any chess player looking to learn and improve their skills could benefit from learning from him.
Dezheng is extremely talented at chess; having been the chess club president and having hosted multiple chess tournaments throughout school, it is evident that Dezheng is not only exceptional at playing chess, but also willing to share and teach the game with others. I would highly recommend Dezheng as a chess tutor for all skill levels.
Knowing Dezheng since elementary and secondary school, I can confidently say that he is not only incredibly passionate about the game of chess, but he is also beyond knowledgeable. Dezheng continues to inspire those around him to pick up chess, whilst sharing new strategies to those that are familiar with the game.
Dezheng is a chess legend. I've known him since childhood, and he could easily beat me in chess while blindfolded. As a kid, he ran a chess tournament that I competed in, and of course he was way too strong a player to compete in it himself. He's a hardworking person and knowledgeable chess player.
