Penang
Penang is a UNESCO World Heritage city that has quietly become one of Southeast Asia's favorite digital nomad bases. George Town's café scene is exceptional, the food is legendary, and the cost of living is manageable.
Chess fits the relaxed, intellectual pace of Penang well. We're planning lessons in George Town's colonial café and co-working spaces for travelers and nomads spending time on the island.
Remote coaching is available right now. Penang in-person dates will be confirmed via our contact form.

The biggest mistake adult beginners make (I have seen it in 21 cities)

Chess apps are great for tactics. They are terrible at teaching you how to think.
Puzzle rush is fun. But if you cannot explain your thought process out loud, the tactics are not sticking. Here is the one thing apps miss and a real coach catches.
