Hi, my name is Calvin Klaasen, and I am a Fide Master. I am South African, 34 years old and I am a professional chess player/coach with many years of experience. I am also a twitch streamer and do instructive chess shows on www.twitch.tv/calvinklaasenchess. I love chess, studying chess, playing online and helping other players improve. Chess is an art, science and sport!
I became my country’s (South Africa) national Champion in 2017 and have represented my country at multiple World Chess Olympiads. My Fide rating peaked at 2320. I also represented my country as a national coach at the World Youth Chess Championships. My life is a chess journey and I have travelled to many countries to play this beautiful
game.
