"I Am Very Passionate And Fanatical About The Game Of Chess."

I am Les Lord, a professional full-time chess coach/tutor. Chess is educationally super-beneficial; it stimulates the mind and emotions, and is food/exercise for the brain. Regular chess training has the power to have a positive and far-reaching impact in your life for the better.

"Over 51 Years Experience In Competitive Chess"

I have over 51 years experience in competitive chess, both as a player and a coach. Even though I have now retired from competitive tournaments, I am heavily involved in coaching/training juniors from around the Toowoomba district.

I teach a combination of school-based lessons and private lessons on a weekly basis. Some 31 years ago I commenced coaching chess in the school sector and now operate a full-time chess coaching business. The school-based chess lessons are before-school, after-school, at lunchtime and during class-time. More and more local Toowoomba schools are incorporating "chess lessons" in their school curriculum. The kids and teachers love it!

Now, I am pleased to offer online chess coaching lessons for individuals and groups, squads and schools.
