I have a unique approach to helping my students improve their tactical vision. Instead of just relying on puzzles taken from books, I like to make use of my constantly expanding collection of key positions taken from my own games so that I can explain to my students exactly what I was thinking and how I found the right moves in those positions.
Being a full-time chess coach also enables me to provide additional support to my students between lessons. For example, all my students are welcome to contact me between lessons if they have any chess-related questions.
I offer a discounted rate of $110 for a 90-minute lesson.

Highly recommend his services if you are looking to take your chess to the next level.
Perfect! My seven-year-old daughter, who has been playing chess for three months since she started, was fascinated to learn.
It is really helpful, especially as they analyse the lichess and work out the best lesson method for the child in advance.

Chee has significantly changed the way I play chess for the better. He’s patient and inspiring in his methods and it feels as if he is as committed to my improvement as I am, In can’t recommend him enough.
I have been doing lessons with Chee for 6 months and I have jumped about 300 points on Lichess. I find that I can think clearer, see tactics more easily, get into strong positions and make plans. This has all translated into more wins.
Chee's approach is based on principles and logic; he provides simple guidelines that allow for easy decision making in complex situations.
Chee also teaches to the person. He adjusts his communication to the right level and also selects openings etc. that suit the student's thinking style.
He also has an extensive library of online studies that accompany his lessons. Chee has built these all himself and they are comprehensive and well thought-out.
I can strongly recommend Chee for your chess journey.Chee was recommended to me to coach my then 6 year old son who was top ten rated in Queensland for his age. Chee's online coaching was invaluable and was the reason that within 12 months my son was ranked 2nd for his age.
Chee now coaches me as well - a 43 year old who hasn't played since school. I am therefore extremely well placed to recommend Chee for anyone from novice up to ~1500 FIDE, and am highly confident he would be just as effective for players rated higher as well.
Chee's strengths include:
(1) highly individualised coaching. Chee's depth and breadth of chess knowledge allows him to develop a different opening repertoire tailored to the style of each player;
(2) fun, calm, professional demeanour. Chee is patient with youngsters but keeps the sessions engaging and fun;
(3) pearls of chess wisdom. Chee often imparts simple yet powerful and practical principles targeted at your playing strength;
(4) generosity and value for money. Chee has created many 'Lichess studies' which are valuable resources that he freely gives to his students so that they can reinforce their learning in their own time. Chee is also very generous with his coaching time.
In short, Chee is an exceptional chess coach, and I am soooo thankful that we found him.
Chee has coached me in chess for approximately a year. I highly recommend him to both beginners and experienced players who want to improve their chess. Chee is very good at explaining complex concepts simply and clearly. He teaches through structured exercises that illustrate chess tactics and openings, and by guiding you through analysis of your own games. Chee is infinitely patient and encouraging, and has a ton of chess anecdotes from his playing and coaching career, that make his lessons engaging and fun. If you are serious about improving your game, and reaching your maximum potential, Chee is the coach for you!
Chee has been tutoring me for 3 months and I have successfully been able to achieve my short term chess goals within this time. Chee is extremely patient, friendly and knowledgeable and uses these attributes to help his students. I am looking forward to continuing with Chee into the future.
I would highly recommend his services for any beginner and intermediate players of any age.Chee is not only an elite chess player, but also a highly gifted and patient teacher. He is passionate about chess, and has an incredible ability to impart knowledge about how to play the game, think about the game and appreciate the game. I would highly recommend Chee to any adult or child, of any standard of chess.
Chee Seng is an amazing Chess coach with great support and an excellent teaching method. His profound knowledge of the game has allowed me to expand my understanding of the sport and with hard work, I have already seen significant progress from when I first started with him. In about 6 months, I was able to increase my rating up to 300 points, and now am among the top 5% of Chess.com players worldwide. With the help of Chee Seng’s analysis of my games, I was able to gain a solid opening repertoire, understand the fundamentals, theory, and principles, and understand the reasoning behind good, solid, strategic moves. I would highly recommend Chee Seng as a chess coach as with his enthusiastic and engaging personality, in conjunction with his knowledge and experience of chess, he has enabled me to understand the game at a higher level.
Chee is a fantastic chess teacher. I found him through the Brisbane chess club. I am a beginner. With me, he is a very clear communicator, and emphasises basic principles rather than memorising millions of minute details. He is teaching me how to think and analyse chess moves as they come up, and it has really improved my game quickly. He is also extremely friendly, non-critical, and patient. He is organised and presents the material in a clear format that can be saved and easily reviewed. He has prepared studies at all levels and would be highly competent to teach advanced students as well, as he has a super high rating.
He gives each less his all, and each one has been extremely interesting and valuable. I recommend him highly for chess tutelage at all levels.Before I started taking lessons from Chee Seng, I tried a few different coaches but they were either too expensive or they couldn't explain things very well. What I like most about Chee Seng's coaching is despite being a strong chess player, he is able to explain seemingly difficult ideas and concepts in simple language.
Chee Seng is a great chess coach. My son has learned a lot from him!
