About This Hub
Quito
Quito is a past Nomad Chess Club hub. I am no longer based here, but online chess lessons are available in English or Spanish.
Book a private lesson in English or Spanish, whether you are starting from scratch, returning to the game, or looking for a clearer way to think through your positions.
Short stays are welcome. We can make one session useful, or keep your coaching going remotely when you move on.

Chess tips for digital nomads
Why your chess progress stalls when you travel (and how to fix it in 20 minutes a day)
You bought a chess book in Berlin, did puzzles in Medellín, and still feel stuck in Bangkok. Here is the real reason your game plateaus on the road, and a 20-minute practice framework that actually works for travelers.
The biggest mistake adult beginners make (I have seen it in 21 cities)
After coaching in cafés from Medellín to Dharamkot, the same mistake shows up: information overload disguised as progress. Here is what to do instead.
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.
