My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments.
For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian.
Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence.

Some figures to know me better:
• 10 years of experience in teaching chess
• 20 years of experience in club and competition
• Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms
• More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing.

My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes:

1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames.
2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises.
3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games.

My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

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.

I am attentive to any questions you may have.
Greeting and I wish you success!

Every player is different.

Some are discovering chess, others wish to take their game to the next level, gain Elo points or prepare for a competition.

My work begins with an essential step: understanding your game.

I analyze your thought processes, how you select potential moves, calculate, manage your time, and make decisions. I also identify your strengths, weaknesses, and the goals you wish to achieve.

Based on this analysis, we build a training program that truly suits you.

◆ Why are some players stagnating?

Resources for improvement have never been so plentiful: videos, gaming platforms, tactical exercises, databases, analysis engines...

However, having access to more information does not always mean making better progress.

Watching videos can be instructive, but it often remains a passive activity: understanding an explanation is very different from being able to find the right idea yourself in front of the chessboard.

Many players prefer fast paces, whereas taking more time to think during games is often essential for improvement.

After the game, they check their accuracy rate, browse the variants offered by the engine and identify their mistakes... without always understanding why they made them.

An engine can tell you the best move, but it doesn't teach you how to find it yourself.

That's the whole difference between knowing the answer and learning how to think.

To make lasting progress, you need to go beyond simply acknowledging the mistake: understand why it happened and what needs to change in your way of thinking.

This is precisely where the personalized support of a coach becomes truly meaningful.

◆ A method built around your game

The first sessions are mainly devoted to analyzing your games.

I'm not just looking for shots that could have been better. I'm trying to understand what led you to play them.

What did you see in the position? What did you consider? What did you rule out?

This analysis helps to identify recurring patterns in your game and to establish precise priorities.

We then build your training program based on your level, your goals and the time you can dedicate to chess.

Depending on your needs, we will work in particular on:

● Openings and game plans
● Tactics and calculation methods
● Positional strategy and understanding
● Essential Finals
● In-depth analysis of your games
● Competition preparation
● Time management, self-confidence and mental preparation

I always prioritize understanding over rote learning.

My goal is not simply to show you what to play, but to pass on the methods that will gradually allow you to find the right ideas on your own.

I support beginners who want to acquire a good foundation, as well as club players, competitors and online players of all levels.

◆ Concrete results

Here are some recent results obtained by my students:

➤ 800 → 1600 Elo on Chess.com after a year and a half of lessons for an adult player.

➤ 1650 → 2000 Elo FIDE after about fifteen hours of lessons for a 16-year-old student.

➤ First FIDE Elo above 1950 after a year of work for a previously unrated student.

➤ 1600 → 2000 FIDE Elo in two years for a young player who became Champion of Paris in his category.

➤ 1600 → 2380 Elo on Chess.com in 15-minute games after a year of lessons at a rate of 3 hours per week for an adult player.

These results naturally depend on the starting level, regularity and investment of each student.

◆ Children's classes

My approach is tailored to their age, level, and ability to concentrate.

The joy of playing and the desire to learn remain essential. Through exercises and educational games, they gradually learn to think better, anticipate, and make their own decisions at the chessboard.

◆ Videoconference classes

Video conferencing is particularly well-suited to teaching chess.

Thanks to screen sharing, we can analyze your games, study positions together, work on your openings, compare different ideas and perform exercises in real time.

After each session, I will send you the materials used so that you can review the concepts studied and continue your work between classes.

◆ Your chess project

Send me a message briefly describing your level, experience, and goals.

Contacting me is already taking the first step towards your progress.

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.

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Active Age is a mindful movement practice designed to support mobility, balance, body awareness and functional strength as we move through different stages of life.

These 30–45 minute classes combine conscious movement, breathing, mobility exercises, balance work and gentle strength to help you maintain a more comfortable, responsive and confident relationship with your body.

Rather than pushing the body to do more, Be Balance invites you to understand what your body needs today — and learn how to move from there.

Each class is adaptable to your own level and pace, with a focus on quality of movement, joint mobility, coordination, posture, balance and everyday functional movement.

You don’t need to be flexible, fit or experienced. You simply need to be willing to listen to your body and move with awareness.
What you can expect

• Improve mobility and range of motion
• Support balance and coordination
• Develop functional strength
• Improve body awareness and proprioception
• Release unnecessary tension and rigidity
• Connect movement with conscious breathing
• Build confidence in the way you move
• Create a more sustainable relationship with exercise

Be Balance Active Age is not about moving harder.
It is about moving better, with greater awareness and confidence.

Listen to your body. Let it arrive. Keep moving.

Every player is different.

Some are discovering chess, others wish to take their game to the next level, gain Elo points or prepare for a competition.

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.

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Active Age is a mindful movement practice designed to support mobility, balance, body awareness and functional strength as we move through different stages of life.

These 30–45 minute classes combine conscious movement, breathing, mobility exercises, balance work and gentle strength to help you maintain a more comfortable, responsive and confident relationship with your body.

Rather than pushing the body to do more, Be Balance invites you to understand what your body needs today — and learn how to move from there.

Each class is adaptable to your own level and pace, with a focus on quality of movement, joint mobility, coordination, posture, balance and everyday functional movement.

You don’t need to be flexible, fit or experienced. You simply need to be willing to listen to your body and move with awareness.

• Support balance and coordination
• Develop functional strength
• Improve body awareness and proprioception
