About this gig

Looking to improve your chess skills or help your child excel? I am a FIDE certified National Instructor with 4 years of experience teaching chess. My highest chess.com rating is 2005, and I have notably won the U1500 section of both the 2023 Steinitz-Menchik and the 2023 CCC Grand Tour Leg 1. Whether you're a beginner, an intermediate player, or a parent seeking top-notch coaching for your child, I can help.


I am currently working with multiple clients of various rating ranges from beginners up to strong intermediates. My strengths lie in the opening and the middlegame, where I provide/improve an opening for you with clear explanations on why you make those moves, as well as the upcoming middlegame plans. I also excel in tactics, often giving exercises to my students to solve to improve their tactical awareness, as well as giving insights into why they may have missed the solution. Most importantly, we go through games played on chess.com or lichess to understand how you play and pinpoint what other moves could have been tried.


Let's work together to take your chess game to the next level.

    Great session studying some openings. Talha has a deep knowledge of chess and seems to have a natural ability to teach in an informative but relaxed way. I was more than happy with the session. Looking forward to having another soon.

    Talha was very personable and I enjoyed working with him. He helped me to see some of the mistakes I was making with an opening and that has proved useful. My only criticisms are that his teaching pace is a bit fast and he did not seem to have done as much preparation for the coaching as I had expected....
