About me
My name is National Master Isaac Wiebe. I am a late bloomer to chess, in which I have always loved playing chess, but did not take training and development seriously until I was 19 years old. I went from 1520 national rating to 2220 in approximately 1.5 years. I would like to share my training methods to the world!

Teaching methodology
I would like to set up one free consultation lesson to assess short-term, long-term goals, as well as establish a training regimen. I would like to structure a 60 minute lesson between 30 minutes of teaching, and 30 minutes of training.
