Hello, I'm Grandmaster Patrick Wolff. I've played chess for over twenty-five years, and for over ten years I've been a professional chess competitor, teacher, and writer.

Ever since my father taught me the moves when I was five years old I've been hooked on chess! Fortunately, chess has been very good to me. I won the U.S. Junior (under 20) Championship in 1984 at the age of 16, and then I won it again in 1987 at the age of 19. I became an international grandmaster, the highest title one can earn, in 1990. Since then I've been one of the highest-ranked players in the U.S. My greatest competitive honor has been to win the U.S. Championship twice, in 1992 and 1995.

During my professional chess career, I've taught people of all ages and skill levels in schools, chess camps, and one-on-one. I've even had the privilege to be the coach and trainer for Viswanathan Anand, who challenged Garry Kasparov for the World Championship title in 1995. And it has been my pleasure to write many books and articles on chess.

I think the Internet is incredibly exciting for chess. My hope is that this Website will provide a unique and effective training method for you. If you have any feedback or suggestions for how this Website could be improved, or if you just want to contact me, please email me with the Feedback Form.

Good luck in all your future chess games!
