Basic rules and checkmates
Simple strategies and opening principles
How to create a plan
How to think before making a move
Beyond chess, students develop patience, decision-making skills and problem-solving ability — all while enjoying the game.

I have been playing chess since 1985. My dad quit playing me in 1988 when he was never able to win again. Chess is the most classic strategy game of all time.

If you want to learn how to play chess I can teach you. If you are able to beat me then you graduate the class. I doubt you ever will, but I would be very happy for you if you could. My goal will be to teach you to put me out of a job.

Then you will be able to say:

"I've been waiting for you, [Kenneth]. We meet at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master."

As a beginner, you'll learn the rules of the game and great ways at which you can advance your pieces.

As an intermediate, you'll learn how to create and spot forks, pins, skewers and checkmates.

As an advanced, you'll learn strategic ways of placing your pieces. I would teach you how to utilize your knight and queen as a great combo for tactical and strategic gameplays and quick checkmates.

Chess is much more than a game. It is a powerful tool for developing strategic thinking, concentration, creativity, and decision-making skills that are useful both on the board and in everyday life.

In my lessons, I focus not only on teaching the rules and theory of chess, but on helping students understand the logic behind every move. We work on improving calculation, pattern recognition, positional understanding, and practical decision-making during real games. My goal is to help students think independently and confidently at the board.

Lessons are adapted to the level and goals of each student. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of the game, including piece movement, basic tactics, checkmates, and essential strategic ideas. Intermediate players will improve their tactical vision, positional play, opening understanding, and endgame technique. Advanced players will work on deep analysis, complex strategic plans, tournament preparation, and psychological aspects of competitive chess.

During the lessons we analyze games, solve instructive positions, practice tactical puzzles, and play training games with detailed feedback. I also teach students how to analyze their own games — one of the most important skills for long-term improvement.

My teaching style is structured, supportive, and interactive. I believe chess should be both intellectually challenging and enjoyable, and I always try to create an engaging learning atmosphere for my students.

I am the founder of the YesChess Chess School, where our international team currently trains around 300 students from 35 countries around the world.

I am an enthusiastic chess coach from Belgium, 24 years old, with the title of International Master and the current Belgian Champion. To me, chess is much more than a game: it is a way to develop logical thinking, concentration, and creativity.

I enjoy working with players of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced, as long as they share the same passion for the game. Teaching is almost as important to me as playing myself. Over the past six years, I have coached some of Belgium's most promising young talents, and many of them have won gold and other medals at youth competitions.

Whether you want to learn how to play the endgame better, improve your tactical insight, or simply have fun playing chess, I am happy to help you take your game to the next level. Chess is not only fun; it also trains your patience, concentration, and problem-solving skills – skills you can use throughout your life.
