My name is Sipke Ernst, International grandmaster, and a professional chess coach. I was born in 1979, learned chess at the age of 9 at school and I have been hooked on the game ever since.
Due to my hard work, I qualified for the Dutch Championship in 1998. At the end of the year, I became an International Master and a couple of years later I was awarded the GM-title. I’m still very active as a player, in international tournaments as well as e.g. the German and Belgian league. These experiences keep me up to date and help me greatly in my practice as a chess coach. Also, I hold an MA degree in Dutch Language and Culture.
I give full dedication to my students; there is always room and time to improve.
GM Sipke Ernst
