About me

I'm Coach Rands and I've been coaching in the collegiate level for 19 years. I work on chess part time and only available during weekends. I love playing and teaching chess. I share my chess and life experiences as well!😊

Playing experience

I play usually in open tournaments and played my last tournament in 2016 where I had a great win and draw against 2 GM'S from belorussia. I keep myself busy nowadays in studying and teaching chess and playing some blitz games. I believe that the best teacher is always experience and we should always keep on learning and at the same time have fun playing chess! :)
