My Chess Philosophy

I believe in effort, repetition and practice.

And today I release my first set of Group Lessons!
I am here to give every bit of value possible: both theoretical and practical.



Hope to see you on the training ground!

Cheers,
Zachary Saine

In the past 2 years, I have played over 200, yes 200, Over-the-Board classical tournament chess games - Not everyone can say that about themselves!

In these two years, I have grown my rating 220 points from 1871 to 2091.

I learned one very valuable thing in this journey, don't give out and always be a student of the game: Approach a loss with curiosity, a win with "onto the next". 

With this mentality, I was able to take a tournament approach that focused on effort and not so much results - taking a lot of the pressure off!

I learned to apply myself, take care of my sleep and dedicate myself to the game in the playing hall and outside. I made chess my life.
