Please note I am now only taking coaching enquiries by email - email address to be found at the bottom of this page.


Hello! I'm James Coleman from England, rated 2290, (now inactive) 47 years old and I started to play chess at age 7. I’ve been a professional chess coach for 25 years.


I've competed in many international tournaments around the world, but since 2015 I have no longer played competitive chess in order to focus on coaching.

As a coach I believe the key to improvement is enjoying the game and setting realistic goals. I'm mostly self-taught in chess so I know what sort of study methods don't work well, and can help you avoid these pitfalls.

For coaching enquiries it helps to have some info about your chess experience so we can plan the best way forward.
You can also check out my recent video series for chess.com which you can find on my profile or in the lessons section. For example:
Coaching rates for online lessons: $50/1 hour or $60/1.5 hours. In British money that's £40/hr and £50/1.5hrs
Training games (no coaching) in your chosen time control $30 / £25 for 1 hour.
