Our guest this week is a self-taught FIDE Master, coach, and popular course creator hailing from the Netherlands: Midas Ratmas.

Midas has built his chess career around helping club players and beginners.

As such, he’s developed a special talent for teaching chess to players at this level.

Midas has already published over a dozen Chessable courses covering areas like the opening, tactics, and strategy - with many more on the horizon.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The 3 ways he makes opening courses more accessible and easier for club players to manage. 
  • Why beginners - and maybe even club players - should learn the strategies that stem from each of the individual chess pieces. 
  • How he plans to achieve his goal of earning the IM title.
  • Straightforward advice on endgames & calculation from his upcoming courses.
