MarcusChess It's chess time with National Master Marcus Chan Marcus Chan is a National Master and former chess player. Not to mention some MSSM champions and winning teams.

Originally from Kuala Lumpur, Marcus moved to Penang in 2006 after graduating from his Engineering degree to work. In 2008, he started chess coaching as a side project next to his day job. His first students were two teenaged boys from Chung Ling High School. Under his tutorage, one of the boys, Gavin, eventually succeeded in becoming Penang’s Under 18 champion. Spurred by this victory, Marcus dec

ided to take his coaching to the next level. The climb wasn’t easy but, by his own effort, Marcus has brought himself to where he is now. And that is, with several trained champions in almost every tournament category. Currently, Marcus has trained 11 MSSPP champions, some of whom have won gold and silver medals in the recent MSSM 2013.
