About Jimmy Y

Dr. Jimmy Y. Zhong, aka Dr. JZ, is a Psychologist, a Neuroscientist, and a Chess Player of National Master strength. With Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in Singapore and a Doctorate from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, GA, USA, Dr. JZ is no stranger to hard work and determination. He brings those same skills to the digital world, hosting a popular YouTube channel -- (concealed information) -- featuring Banter Bullet and Blitz Chess. As of now, his channel has attracted over 200,000 viewers and thousands of likes. Dr. JZ had won many chess awards in the past and a few memorable achievements are as follows: He led Team Singapore to victory in the 2020 World Chess League during the COVID-19 pandemic, dominating the matches against teams from Bulgaria, New Zealand, USA, the Philippines, Argentina, and Switzerland. He was First at both the 2016 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Rapid Chess Tournament, where he dominated the competition with a score of 4.5 out of 5, and the 2010 NUS Open Rapid Chess Championship, where he finished with a stellar 6 out of 7 points, beating some of the best players in Singapore. Dr. JZ shows us that with the right mindset, anything is possible — whether it’s mastering the mind, the brain, or the board.

About the lesson

My chess lessons follow the teachings of the Soviet School of Chess, founded by GM Mikhail Botvinnik, the sixth World Chess Champion and one of the most influential figures in chess history. 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, a video recording of all these activities, along with any additional materials, will be made available to you, allowing you to review and reinforce the concepts and strategies we covered at your own pace.
