Chess Parfait Story

In addition to my coaching, I created Chess Parfait to showcase the parts of chess that I love most. Chess puzzles, instructive endgames, and creative variants are all crafted with purpose.

From master-level tablebase analysis to variants like Fog of War, this is where I share the passion that sparked my love for the game.

Fog of War Journey

My favourite variant is Fog of War Chess, a game of hidden information where you can only see the squares which your pieces can move to. In 2024, I became the first world champion after a gruelling double knockout tournament against some of the best players in the world.
