International Master doing chess lessons & livestreams.

About me

I'm an International Master living in Ireland, with a current FIDE rating of 2417. I have played for the Irish Senior team at the last three Olympiads (2010, 2012, 2014). For the most part, my goal with these streams is to help the viewers to improve their own chess, although I like to mix in some more chilled streams where I might be playing bullet/blitz while listening to music. I would like to keep my channel focused on chess, as well as friendly and appropriate for all ages. I would greatly appreciate to keep that in mind when chatting. For any business enquiries or contacting about chess lessons, please e-mail me at: astanehchess@gmail.com Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the stream!
