Have you ever watched your child lose a game they seemed to be winning?
Have they ever asked, “How did I lose?” even after playing well?
The truth is, even top players in the world often lose for one simple reason:
they miss a tactic.
Most games at the beginner and early intermediate level are decided by one key moment...
A missed tactic, a blundered piece, or an overlooked threat.
That’s exactly why we created the "Win at Chess Workshop", to help your child develop the critical skill of
spotting winning tactics before their opponent does
When they can do that, they’ll:
3 Step Process To Find The Best Move
How To Avoid Common Mistakes
Visualise Winning Sequences In 1 Minute
How To Spot Attacks and Threats Easily
Simple Winning Tactical Patterns
Winning Free Pieces Checklist
ONLINE LIVE WORKSHOP

David with Jim Keyes
Former CEO of 7-Eleven and Blockbuster and author of the best selling book "Education is Freedom"
David Ryan is the leading authority in the chess education industry, known for empowering his students through the game of chess. With years of experience, he has built a reputation for helping children not only improve their chess skills but also develop critical life skills such as problem-solving, focus, and confidence.
Throughout his journey, David has had the chance to meet and connect with incredible people, including actor Vince Vaughn, Jim Keyes (former CEO of 7-Eleven and Blockbuster), and even Joe Foster, the founder of Reebok.
Recognizing the demand for flexibility and accessibility, David offers interactive and personalized online chess classes. His students develop into confident, independent thinkers, ready for success both on the chessboard and in life.
"Since she has started with him she has improved a lot! And I highly recommend David because he is awesome!
He is really kind and he knows how to teach a 6 year old. With all the little, jumping here and there.
He is very nice and if you are looking for your kid to get into chess classes I would recommend that Chess Confidence is the right place to start with!"
"Hi, I'm Rushika, and I'm eight years old. And my teacher is David.
We are learning about chess, and I LOVE it! I normally like learning about the pieces and also answering questions that I know.
And when we normally play games, we know which pieces go to which place so that we can have a better chance of winning."
"He teaches me new skills that make me comfortable when playing with higher level competitors!"
"Once my cousin Jackie came over yesterday and I won him and I was super duper happy. And David he is kind, he is nice, he's patient and that is why I love his games!"
"David taught me new tricks and chess movements! David is so fun and I enjoy his classes. I would like to have more of David's classes! Thank you very much, bye"
"He teaches you skillful moves like how pieces move, how to do checkmate AND EVEN MORE. He is a really kind and generous person and I love his lessons!"
Vihaan from QLD
"I like it. Because it helps me with my critical thinking and understanding in chess... And he teaches me what to do, what is the blunder or wrong thing.
So then I can learn from my mistakes. So it's really good. So when I learn these mistakes, I won't do it again. And I'll maybe succeed that time. So it will always help me in my chess...
In the group classes, we learn about the puzzles. The puzzles are more fun. When it gets easier, to harder. And I keep on solving everything. I'm not giving anyone a chance!"
Zakhyr from NSW
"Hi, I’m Zakhyr, 9 years old. I’m part of David’s chess class. But I started as a beginner, and now I compete in interschool chess competitions.
I have won 6 games already, and I’m still undefeated!
I enjoy David’s chess class because I can learn new skills and meet new friends."
