About Asa Chambal-Jacobs:

My dad (Chef John Chambal) taught me chess when I was six and I was quickly able to defeat him!
Growing up, I won some youth chess tournaments at the Warner Library in Tarrytown and played with my friends. Later on, I started teaching chess as a camp counselor and instructor.
In college I mostly played online and followed the big chess events, such as the World Championship. In late 2020, I started teaching remote chess lessons and gradually moved to in person. I have taught ages 4 to adult, and complete beginners to intermediate level players.
My Chess.com is ~1750 in Rapid and ~1800 in Blitz time formats.
