Tournament preparation and game analysis with a FIDE Master,
From 76 C$ /h
This class is for players who already compete: club players, rated juniors, and adults preparing for a specific tournament. If you are starting from the beginning, my other class is the better fit.
We start with your own games. You send me five or six recent ones, and in the first session I show you the pattern behind your losses - not the individual blunders, but the recurring decision that keeps costing you points. Most players are losing rating to two or three habits, and naming them is half the work.
From there we build the preparation around your calendar:
- Opening repertoire that is narrow enough to prepare properly, chosen for the tournaments you actually play.
- Opponent research before a round: what they play, where they are uncomfortable, what to steer towards.
- Middlegame plans out of your own structures, so preparation and play connect.
- Endgame technique for the positions that decide competitive games - rook endings above all.
- Calculation under time pressure, trained with a clock, because untimed exercises do not transfer.
- Time management and how to play the round after a loss.
Every game you play between lessons is analysed move by move before we next meet, and you get written homework.
About me: I am Agil Pirverdiyev, a FIDE Master and FIDE-certified trainer from Baku, Azerbaijan. Fifteen years of coaching, more than 100 students. Rating 2411 classical and 2508 rapid. Under 16 World Champion in 2011, Under 14 European Champion, team silver at the Chess Olympiad. I also hold the FIDE arbiter title, with open tournament wins in Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain.
Lessons run on Lichess or Chess.com over video, in English, Turkish or Azerbaijani. The first 30-minute meeting is free.
Packages: 5 lessons, or 10 lessons with one free - you pay for nine and we play ten.

About Me
I am Agil Pirverdiyev, a FIDE Master and FIDE-certified trainer from Baku, Azerbaijan. I have been coaching chess for fifteen years and have worked with more than 100 students, from six-year-olds learning how the pieces move to club players preparing for rated tournaments.
What I care about as a teacher is that you can see your own progress. Every course starts with a free 30-minute meeting: I look at your games or we play through a few positions, I tell you honestly where your level is, and we agree together on what the first ten lessons should fix. Nothing is off the shelf - a 900-rated child and an 1800-rated club player need completely different work.
Lessons run as a live video call on Lichess or Chess.com, so you see my board and I see how you think. You get homework after every session, and your own games are analysed move by move before the next lesson.
I teach in English, Turkish and Azerbaijani.

How a lesson runs:
- A live video lesson on Lichess or Chess.com - you see my board, I see how you think.
- Openings: a small, practical repertoire you can actually remember, chosen to fit your style.
- Middlegame: pawn structures, piece placement, and how to form a plan when nothing forcing is available.
- Endgames: the positions that really decide games - rook endings, king and pawn, opposite-coloured bishops.
- Calculation and tactics: trained with timed exercises so the skill holds up on a real clock.
- Homework after every lesson, and your own games analysed move by move before the next one.
- Tournament preparation: opponent research, time management and recovering after a loss.
