What's included

Built to move 100 points in 6 weeks

No worksheets pulled from a book. Everything is built from your games, your openings, your time scrambles — all aimed at the same target: +100 rating points by week six.

Your improvement plan

After your intro session we map exactly where your rating is leaking — calculation, openings, endgame technique — and build a written plan around it, with +100 points as the target within six weeks.

Game-by-game breakdown

Every week we review recent games from your own chess.com or lichess account and turn every loss into a clear, written takeaway — the kind you'll actually remember mid-game.

Flexible 1:1 sessions

Weekly sessions, online or around Perth, booked straight into the calendar — no back-and-forth emails to lock in a time, and no fixed program length.

The climb

How it works, rank by rank

Four steps from "stuck under 1400" to +100 rating points in six weeks.

RANK 1

Book your intro call

15 minutes, free, no obligation. We talk about your games, your openings, and where you keep losing the thread.

RANK 2

Send us your games

A handful of recent games from chess.com or lichess. We use them to set your week-zero baseline rating and start studying your patterns before session one even begins.

RANK 3

Get your improvement plan

A short, written plan built around your actual mistakes — not a generic syllabus every player under 1400 gets handed — with +100 rating points as the target within six weeks.

RANK 4

Climb, one session at a time

Weekly 1:1 sessions, adjusted as your rating moves and new weaknesses show up. We keep going for as long as it takes — most players reach the +100-point target within six weeks.

Simple, transparent pricing

Pay only for the time you book

The target

+100 points. Six weeks. That's the goal for every student under 1400.

This is the range where most rating gains come from fixing repeatable mistakes, not memorising more theory — which is exactly why most students hit their +100-point target within six weeks of starting structured 1:1 coaching.

Before you book

Questions, answered

What happens after the free intro call?

If it feels like a good fit, you book your first paid session for $55 and we'll have a personalised plan ready for you. If it's not the right fit, there's no obligation — you simply don't book again.

Do I need a chess.com or lichess account?

Not necessarily, but our plan from our intro-calls are preferably based of some of your recent games. Ideally, we will review recent games of yours and create your session based of that.

What's your cancellation policy?

You can reschedule a paid session for free with at least 24 hours' notice. Cancel more than 24 hours out and you'll get a full refund. Cancel inside 24 hours and the fee is forfeited. Full details — including what happens if we're the ones who need to cancel — are in our client cancellation policy.

Are sessions online or in person?

Both. Online sessions run over video call from anywhere; in-person sessions are available around Perth depending on coach availability.

Do you coach junior players?

Yes, regularly — a large share of players under 1400 are juniors. Parents are welcome to sit in on sessions, especially for younger or newer players.

How quickly will my rating actually improve?

Our target for every player under 1400 is +100 rating points within six weeks. That's built on weekly sessions, a written plan made from your own games, and honest feedback on what's actually costing you points each game. Improvement isn't perfectly linear — some weeks move faster than others — but most players see real movement well within six weeks of starting weekly sessions.

What happens if I don't gain 100 points in six weeks?

Most players who attend every week and put in the practice between sessions see meaningful movement well inside six weeks. If yours is slower, we sit down, look at what's working and what isn't, and adjust the plan. Six weeks is the target we coach toward, not a fixed program length — coaching continues for as long as you keep booking sessions.

Policies

Cancellation & refund policy

Last updated — June 2026

For clients

Client cancellation policy

We hold your session time exclusively for you, so we ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a paid session.

24 hours or more before your session: free reschedule, or a full refund to your original payment method.

If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, the session fee is forfeited and won't be refunded, since that time slot can no longer be offered to another student. We're always happy to help you find another time where possible, but the fee for that booking isn't recoverable.

  • Rescheduling is free and unlimited with 24 hours' notice or more — just reply to your booking confirmation or email us.
  • No-shows (not attending without any notice) are treated the same as a late cancellation — the session fee is forfeited.
  • Free intro calls can be cancelled or rescheduled any time at no cost, since no payment has been taken.
  • Refunds, where applicable, are processed back to the card or payment method used at checkout via Stripe, typically within 5–10 business days.

If something genuinely unexpected comes up inside the 24-hour window — illness, a family emergency, and so on — get in touch as soon as you can. We assess these on a case-by-case basis and use discretion rather than applying the policy rigidly.

If we need to cancel

On rare occasions your coach may need to cancel or reschedule a confirmed session — due to illness, an emergency, or another unavoidable circumstance.

If we cancel on you, for any reason and regardless of notice given, you'll always receive your choice of a free reschedule to a time that suits you, or a full refund — no questions asked.

  • We'll let you know as early as possible, by email and/or the contact details provided at booking.
  • You're never charged a fee or penalty of any kind when we're the ones cancelling.
  • If a reschedule isn't convenient, a full refund is processed back to your original payment method within 5–10 business days.
  • In the unlikely event a coach becomes unavailable on an ongoing basis, we'll work with you to either transfer remaining sessions to another coach or refund any sessions not yet delivered.

Our aim is simple: the 24-hour notice period exists to keep coaching time fair and available for everyone, but it only runs one way against you when the cancellation is yours to make.
