    Hi, I’m Merlijn! I’m 23 years old and studying History at the University of Amsterdam. Chess has been a huge part of my life since I learned the game from my grandfather at the age of four. Twenty years later, we still play every time we see each other. Chess is a beautiful game—easy to learn in minutes but challenging enough to spend a lifetime mastering. I’d love to share my passion and knowledge with you! How My Lessons Work I offer flexible, personalized chess lessons for players of all levels. Here’s how a typical lesson is structured: • Playing a game: We start with a game where both the student and I verbalize our thought processes behind each move. • Theme of the day: We go through a lesson from the Stappenmethode, a proven chess training system. • Key Concepts & Strategy: I explain an important chess concept, opening, or technique to improve your understanding of the game. • Personalized Feedback: Before each session, I analyze some of your past games to identify areas for improvement. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player looking to sharpen your skills, I’d love to help you grow as a chess player. Let’s play, learn, and improve together!
