CraftyRaf is a user-turned-author who is proudly one of the most active authors on Chessable.
Raf learned the game when he was 4, and his talent for the game was confirmed when he beat his kindergarten teacher just a year later. Though he gave it up for several years, he picked up the game again in his 20s and he’s been at it ever since. Now rated over 1900 FIDE, he’s having fun beating up on Candidate Masters in simuls and even scoring a win against Alexandra Botez on her live stream!
Though he’s no full-time pro, this dedicated player spends a significant amount of his free time on chess. When he’s not creating his own award-winning Chessable courses, he’s active on the discussion boards answering student questions and helping new authors make their own courses.
And there’s a lot of people taking his courses too - they are some of the most popular on Chessable by far; so much so that they have even been presented by John Bartholomew and Andras Toth! But to experience the full power of this devoted teacher at your back, you just have to check out his courses for yourself below:
