Hi, my name is Gabriel. I'm the head coach of the chess team of the National University of Mexico (UNAM) since 2010. I speak fluent English as I lived six years in Oxford, England, when I was a child and I practice it since then.

With the UNAM's team I have obtained the following titles:
National Women's Championship: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
National Men's Championship: 2018, 2019
Absolute National Championship: 2018, 2019
Panamerican 2013 in Durango: silver medal

I also have extensive experience with players of all ages and levels. Here is a list of the places where I have worked:
- UNAM's Children's Chess Program since 2012.
- Private schools.
- CEDAT School for gifted children.
- Private sports and social clubs.
- Homeschoolers
- Personal chess coach since 2005.

My peak rating is 2165 FIDE ELO, which would be equivalent to the USCF National Master level, although really my chess dedication has been focused on teaching.
I would love to help you learn chess or improve your game to reach competitive levels. It does not matter your degree of experience, your level of play, or your age.

Passionate about chess since childhood and a teacher by profession, I offer online courses aimed primarily at beginner and intermediate players who wish to progress in a structured way while retaining the pleasure of playing.

My goal is not simply to teach you moves or openings to memorize. My main aim is to help you understand why a move is good, how to construct a plan, and how to identify tactical possibilities on the chessboard.

The courses are tailored to your level, age and goals.

Depending on your needs, we can work:
- the rules of the game and the fundamental principles;
- the development of the pieces and the principles of opening;
- tactics: forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, typical checkmates;
- the strategy and the construction of a plan;
- the middle of the game;
- the essential finals;
- the calculation of variants;
- time management;
- the analysis of your own games.

An important part of my method involves analyzing the games you've played with you. Together, we look for key moments, mistakes, missed opportunities, and the best alternatives.

For beginners, we progress gradually in order to build good habits from the very first games.

For intermediate players, we can work more specifically on their weaknesses, delve deeper into certain tactical or strategic themes, and analyze their games in detail.

The lessons are interactive: you play, you think, you suggest moves and we analyze the positions together.

Children, teenagers and adults are welcome.

I offer relaxed, supportive chess lessons for beginners and developing players of all ages.

My approach is about more than simply learning the rules or memorising openings. I use chess to help people build confidence, concentration, patience, decision-making, resilience and problem-solving skills while learning the game at their own pace.

I particularly enjoy working with people who may feel nervous about learning something new, have struggled with traditional teaching styles, or simply want a more patient and encouraging way to learn chess.

Lessons are adapted to the individual. Some people learn best by playing, some by talking through positions, and others by breaking the game down step by step.

There is no pressure to compete or already be good at chess. Complete beginners are very welcome.

My aim is simple: help you understand the board, enjoy the game and become more confident in finding your own moves.

Chess has been a part of my life since I was 7 years old. I grew up with this game, participated in many competitions and, over time, I discovered one thing above all: I love sharing it.

Today, I want to pass on this passion to those who wish to discover chess or simply become better, whether they are children, teenagers or adults.

For children, my primary goal is for chess to remain enjoyable. Through the game, I help them learn to concentrate, take time to think before acting, anticipate, and better manage their emotions and impulsiveness. I adapt to their personality and pace, including when a child struggles to maintain focus for extended periods.

For teenagers, the focus is more on progression: understanding their mistakes, developing their tactical reflexes, learning to build a plan and, for those who wish, increasing their Elo rating on Chess.com.

For adults: whether you are starting from scratch or already play regularly, we can work together on your weaknesses, your games and your goals to allow you to progress while having more fun playing.

I am a patient, smiling, and passionate person. I prefer a lesson where we exchange ideas, where the student reflects and searches for themselves, rather than a lesson where we simply recite variations.

My goal is for you to finish each session having learned something... and with the desire to play again.

For eight years, I worked as a chess teacher, primarily with young children and beginners. I taught chess in a fun and understandable way, adapting my lessons to each child’s age and level. I helped children develop concentration, logical thinking, problem-solving and strategic skills while also teaching patience, discipline and fair play. I organized lessons, games and small tournaments, supported children individually when needed, and created a positive and encouraging environment where they could learn and gain confidence.
