About Shirly
Do you find yourself wondering why your opponent always seems one step ahead in the endgame? My teaching character is rooted in the steady, analytical mindset I developed during my 13 years of experience.
Having earned a BSc Statistics degree from Carnegie Mellon University, I view the board as a series of probabilities and patterns. We examine king safety, calculation and visualization, and defensive technique to build a robust foundation. My approach emphasizes tournament preparation, recording and notation, and tactical patterns to ensure you remain competitive. Time management, pawn structures, and piece coordination are the final pieces we refine together.

True improvement begins when a player stops guessing and starts recognizing recurring motifs on the board. Imagine the moment a hidden tactical sequence becomes obvious during your own tournament play. My philosophy relies on the clarity of a BSc Statistics background to simplify complex board states. I break down the game into manageable segments to ensure you master every nuance of the position.
We review recorded lesson summaries to track your progress and reinforce the critical thinking required at this level. You are welcome to reach out to schedule your first session whenever you are ready.
