Hi, I have 4 years of chess coaching experience (in Russian and English). My chess FIDE rating is 2214. I very like teaching chess.
My goal is to help students to achieve their goals and become masters. I encourage my students to participate in tournaments and do chess Homeworks.

In 2005, I entered the top 50 of the best chess players worldwide, and in 2003, I joined the top 10 of the strongest chess players in the USA rating. I have the tremendous experience of performances and victories at various international tournaments. I also participated in the Russian national team at the international chess Olympics in 2004. Among my competitors, there were the strongest international chess masters such as Michael Adams, Alexander Grischuk, Etienne Bacrot, Vassily Ivanchuk, Peter Leko, Peter Svidler, and others.
About my teaching experience:
I started teaching in 2005. I spent 8 years working at the Russian chess club. Since 2013, I have been teaching online. During this time, my students increased the rating by more than 5,000 points. I helped some students receive their first international chess titles (category). Others were interested in improving their online rating at (concealed information).

Chess isn’t just a game. It is a way to train your mind to anticipate, take risk and stay calm under pressure. There are more possible chess combinations than electrons in the universe!
In this class, you’ll learn not only how to play chess, but how to think like a chess player.

We’ll cover:
1. Opening principles and how to control the board early.
2. Mid-game pattern recognition: attacking plans and defending under pressure.
3. Endgame techniques and how to convert small advantages into wins (Chess is often won by the difference of a pawn).
4. Tips and tricks on how to manage nerves, focus, and decision-making.

As a neuroscience student, I also help players understand how the brain makes decisions improving focus and intuition.

My approach combines strategiy, pattern recognition, and emotional control.
Whether you’re a beginner who wants to understand the board, or an intermediate player aiming to level up, each lesson is structured, practical, and fun.

Quick results will be visible!!!
