From beginner to 1500+: targeted chess coaching by a 2000+ chess. com rapid player.
From 47 C$ /h
Take your chess game to the next level.
Do you no longer want to just make moves, but understand why a move works? Are you stuck at a certain rating level, or do you want to make fewer blunders and sit at the board with more confidence? As an active 2000+ Rapid player on Chess.com, I help beginners and intermediate players (0 – 1600 rating) improve their game, using tips that have helped me tremendously as well.
No dry book knowledge or endless theoretical variations, but practical insights that you can apply directly to your own games.
What can you expect from the lessons?
We start by determining your current level, then we move on to various aspects of the game.
In-depth game analysis: We analyze your own (lost) games on Chess.com or Lichess. We identify your recurring mistakes and turn them into learning opportunities.
Tactics & Board Vision: Learn to recognize patterns faster, avoid recurring blunders, and capitalize on the tactical opportunities your opponent misses.
Middlegame & Positional Play: Understand how to make a plan when there is no direct tactic. Learn to work with bishop pairs, open lines, and weak squares.
Handy opening repertoire: No need to memorize dozens of moves, but understand the core ideas and plans behind your favorite openings.
Who is this lesson suitable for?
Beginners (0 - 1000): You know the rules and the basics, but want to build a solid foundation without drowning in complicated theory.
Intermediate (1000 - 1600): You play online regularly, but feel stuck at a rating ceiling and want to progress.
About me:
I only started playing chess myself at the age of 14 or 15 and quickly developed a passion for the board game. Since then, I have immersed myself in it and achieved an active Chess.com Rapid rating of 2050, placing me in the top 0.2% of the platform. I know from personal experience what it is like to break through the various rating barriers. My approach is patient, accessible, and fully tailored to your personal learning goals.
If you are interested, you can always send me a message/email, hopefully see you soon :)
