Raif Jafri

Raif is a goal oriented coach with a proven track record of national level competitive wins and of developing players who go on to compete at the national level themselves. He begins with fundamentals and building a solid, robust repertoire, bringing tactics in from the start rather than treating them as a separate stage later on. The middlegames and key endings that follow are explained with complete clarity, so students understand not just what to play but why. He expects full commitment from every student he takes on.
