About Alec
Stanford University PhD candidate status informs my approach to endgame technique and complex tournament preparation. Intuition in chess is actually just the byproduct of intense, structured study rather than innate genius.
Pattern recognition and positional understanding serve as the bedrock of my coaching style. Opening principles and tactical patterns are broken down into logical sequences for students who compete in formal settings. I spend my time helping players build a reliable opening repertoire and improve their board vision through consistent practice. You can expect a calm, motivating environment that simplifies the game of chess.

Struggling to find a plan in the middle game is the most common hurdle for tournament players. You are likely facing a moment where tactical patterns seem clear but the long-term positional goal remains hidden. Recorded lesson summaries allow you to review the specific nuances of your games at your own pace whenever you need a refresher. My 121 students learn to recognize the subtle cues that dictate when to trade pieces or when to maintain the tension on the board.
We systematically review your decision-making processes to refine your natural playing style. These sessions will remain accessible if you wish to join my roster.
