FOREWORD: When contacting Dr. JZ, please indicate your (i) FULL NAME, (ii) MOBILE NUMBER, and (iii) ACTIVE E-MAIL. Dr. JZ will decline all lesson requests without any of these three pieces of information. Requests from suspicious contacts and/or AI bots will be reported to SuperProf and the Singapore Police Force.

LESSON LAYOUT: Dr. JZ's chess lessons follow the teachings of the Soviet School of Chess, founded by GM Mikhail Botvinnik, the 6th World Chess Champion. This methodology emphasizes a comprehensive, strategic approach to all stages of the game, ensuring that you develop a deep understanding of every phase — from the opening to the middlegame and to the endgame.
Each lesson will begin with a training game played against me, Dr. JZ. After that, we will analyze the mistakes made and discuss ways to improve. The second half of the lesson will focus on the underlying theories and principles that govern sound chess openings, middlegame tactics, and endgame strategies.
At the end of each lesson, all relevant lesson materials, including video recordings whenever possible, will be shared with you, allowing you to review and reinforce the concepts and strategies we covered at your own pace.
