About Holden
Hi! I'm Holden, I live and work in Carlisle in Cumbria, and teach chess on the side! As a junior I played chess competitively, and eventually progressed to the England Team where I represented the squad many times. Chess has taken me all over the world, having played in Gibraltar, Bulgaria, Greece, the Netherlands, and India. I am a two time Cumbria County Champion (2024/2025) and understand the competitive side of the game. Outside of chess I enjoy climbing, walking and getting into the outdoors. If you're interested or have queries, please get in touch :)

Perfect! Holden is an exceptional chess tutor. As someone with mild autism, I really appreciate his teaching style—he breaks down the fundamentals of chess clearly and structures lessons in a way that is easy to follow without feeling overwhelming.
The pace of our sessions is fantastic. He balances interactive puzzle practice with thoughtful reviews of my game mistakes, which has helped me understand my errors and build confidence on the board. I've thoroughly enjoyed every lesson so far and highly recommend Holden to anyone looking for an patient, encouraging, and effective chess coach!View more reviews

Highly skilled & empathetic chess coach & mentor. Real ability to listen, encourage and tutor.
Holden is one of the good guys.
I recommend Holden wholeheartedly to anybody wanting to improve their chess skills. No doubt there are plenty of excellent chess resources available at reasonable prices, but we didn’t want our pre-teen chess obsessed son spending too many hours online in the company of chess-bots. Holden provided excellent teaching, humor, perspective and mentorship - somebody for our son to look up to. A wonderfully decent, reliable and kind human being who we couldn’t rate any higher.
