Midas Ratsma is a FIDE Master and coach from the Netherlands.
As a longtime chess coach, FM Ratsma has bountiful experience teaching students from a wide range of ratings and backgrounds. The Dutch Master particularly specializes in club player improvement, which gave him the perfect background to create his first Chessable course: Attacking Repertoire for Club Players: 1.e4.
That course exemplifies FM Ratsma’s coaching style: a focus on fundamentals, emphasis on ideas more than move order memorization, and simple yet strong chess. It’s the same approach that has gotten him far in the Dutch chess scene. And although he enjoys much more complex and tactical positions himself now, it’s clearly working - among his proudest achievements, FM Ratsma has an impressive 2 - 0 classical chess record against Dutch chess powerhouse and Chessable author GM Max Warmerdam!
So if you want to learn an attacking repertoire that can improve your overall chess as well, you’ll be in good hands with FM Midas Ratsma. Be sure to check out his courses below and stay tuned for more from this rising star:
