About

I am Life Master Theo Slade. I learned how to play chess when I was 6 and I have been playing for 14 years. I was England's top scorer at the World U16 Olympiad in China as an U12 and I have been writing a monthly column for the British Chess Magazine since I was 12; I am the youngest ever writer for the world's oldest chess journal!

Really enjoy working with Theo! He keeps things simple but really does feel like he knows what your weaknesses are, and he knows what he's talking about!

Theo, is a very professional young man. He's excellent at understanding of the ideas behind the systems and looking at your games and style of play to help you develope the right repertoire.

Theo is very nice and always helps me the general principles that I overlook during my games. He is very patient and always makes sure I am following along with the lesson.
