Learn chess with Chessmate Eugene

Owner: Gib Daugherty chess coach

My Story

 Hello, my name is Gib and I am a U.S. Chess Federation certified coach. I offer online classes to those who want to learn or improve their game. 


After years of playing on the competitive chess circuit, I changed my focus. I wanted to ensure future generations could understand and love the game that has played such a significant role in my life. My love of the game and my love of introducing people to the game allows me to be patient, analytical, and fueled by joy. 


I teach everything from basic movements and rules to advanced strategy. My coaching caters to the skill set of the student and adapts as the student advances. 

ONLINE or INPERSON . Contact me for chess lessons 

History

 My first step is to evaluate you by playing a game of chess. I do this so that I can see where you are already strong and also where you need some guidance. If you are a brand new player I will start by teaching you the basics, and then we will start doing games at a rate that fits your skill level. I have been playing chess since the age of 12. In high school I started playing tournaments . After years of playing and competing I decided to start teaching.


I began my teaching career as a volunteer coach at local middle and high schools, and then shortly after started teaching private lessons. I decided to make chess coaching my career because I love playing and teaching chess, and I've been told that I'm a skilled but patient instructor. For many years I mainly worked with middle and high schoolers, but I started expanding my coaching of adults a few years ago. I have currently coached people between the ages of 5 and 93.
