Chess Sessions
Play chess with Lucas.
Lucas loves chess and enjoys sharing the game with others. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your skills before a tournament, he'd be delighted to sit down together — online or in-person in Vancouver. Sessions are $40 CAD per hour.



Lucas has been playing competitive chess since he was young and genuinely enjoys the game. Sessions are relaxed and friendly — more of a shared exploration than a formal lesson. You set the pace, and he's happy to adapt to whatever you want to work on.
He can help with openings, tactics, endgame basics, or just play a few games and talk through the moves together afterwards. All levels are welcome — no experience necessary.
Opening ideas
Finding openings that feel comfortable and suit the way you like to play.
Spotting tactics
Forks, pins, discovered attacks — the patterns that can change a game in a single move.
Endgame basics
King and pawn endings, rook endings — the fundamentals of converting an advantage.
Reviewing your games
Looking at what went well and what to think about differently next time.
