About John Bartholomew
Greetings! My name is IM John Bartholomew (FIDE: 2446, USCF: 2534). I'm a 34 year-old chess professional from Minnesota, USA, and I post instructional chess content and bullet/blitz/standard videos recorded on popular sites like Chess.com, ICC, and lichess.org.
If you're a new chess player, I recommend beginning with my series "Chess Fundamentals" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao9iOeK_jvU) and "Climbing the Rating Ladder" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2huVf1l4UE).
I also stream on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/johnbartholomew
Check out the chess platform I co-founded, Chessable, for free chess courses: https://www.chessable.com/
I offer private online chess lessons. If you'd like to get in touch, please click on "For business inquiries" below and send me an email. Best wishes for your chess improvement!
