Chess Coaching Ireland
Hi, I’m International Master Mark Quinn and you are most welcome to Chess Bud Ireland! As a renowned chess nut since childhood, my structured approach, terrible jokes and obsessive passion for the game all contribute to the Chess Bud teaching ethos.
Whether you are tilting for national titles or in hot pursuit of the elusive GM Title, or just want to beat that annoying friend or family member who always bamboozles you with downright sneaky tactics or swindles you in the endgame, myself and my team mate – the current reigning Irish Senior Champion, Jonathan O’Connor, are ready and waiting to help you achieve chess mastery and realize your chess dreams.
Why not check out our YouTube and Twitch channels where we upload regular analysis and commentary on top games from around the globe, solve chess tactics and reveal secrets of the endgame.
