About Me

Hello, dear chess friends!

I am GM Miloje, from Serbia.

I was born in 1996. I have learned to play chess in 2003. when I was 7 years old. My dad is CM and he was teaching me for the first few years. I have two brothers, so all of us have started to play and learn chess at the same time, which is good, because, we were competing and we progressed very fast. In that time all three of us were very successful on many cadet championships of Vojvodina and Serbia. When I become a better player than my dad, I started to work on chess on my own. I was learning chess strategy and games from old grandmasters from books. I analyzed my games with computer assistance. After several years, I achieved one of my biggest successes. I won the Serbian Junior Championship in 2014. After that, I played World Junior Championship and many other great tournaments, like Serbian Championship ( two times).

In 2018 I finished my education. I graduated at Universitety in Belgrade, faculty of law. It is very important to me, because, this is one of the most difficult faculties in the country. Average studing on this faculty is 7, 8 years! I graduated for 4, so I think that is a success. I want to become a lawyer one day. I need practical experience for that, so I have to work jobs like a jurist first and after two years to pass the exam for lawyers. After graduation, I started to work on chess more seriosly and in 2021. I became Grandmaster. I work on chess by my on, and I think that I will achive this soon.

Education

In 2018 Fide Master. In 2020 International Master. In 2021. Grandmaster. I hope I will soon become Grandmaster. Also, I graduated from law at University in Belgrade.

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!

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.

You'll learn:

* How the chessboard and pieces work
* How every piece moves and captures
* Check, checkmate, and basic chess rules
* How to start a game with simple opening principles
* Basic tactics and how to spot opportunities

Hi, I'm Saiya! I have been playing competitive chess my whole life. As a child, I played and worked at chess for many years before finally having a breakthrough as a teenager, and I have continued to improve, even into my thirties as a PhD student with little spare time. As an adult, I have built community in chess and started giving lessons to people I met. I have encountered many different teaching techniques over the years, and have had the opportunity to see what works and what doesn't.

All too many chess coaches rely on students to identify their own strengths and weaknesses and propose their own lesson plans. Of course, students are not always best positioned to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, and part of the function of a coach should be to assess the student and help them develop a study plan.

I have five years of experience teaching linguistics at the university level, and I am accustomed to making lesson plans and using proven pedagogical techniques. As a coach, I will identify your strengths and weaknesses based on seeing your games and hearing your thought process. I will then create study plans consisting of games, puzzles, and interesting positions specifically tailored for you.

Improve your chess skills with personalized lessons designed for your level and goals. Whether you are a complete beginner, an intermediate player, or an experienced tournament player, each lesson is adapted to your individual needs.

We will work on tactical patterns, strategy, opening principles, calculation, positional understanding, endgames, and practical decision-making. We can also analyze your own games to identify mistakes, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and develop a clear plan for improvement.

With 20+ years of experience as a competitive chess player and coach, including participation in World and European Youth Championships and international adult tournaments, I focus on making lessons both structured and engaging.

The goal is not simply to learn chess moves, but to understand the game, think independently, and improve step by step.

My aim is to keep the lessons enjoyable, practical and suited to each student rather than following the same programme for everyone.

My teaching style is patient, structured, and personalized. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to match their pace and skill level. I focus on building strong fundamentals first, then gradually introduce tactics, strategy, and opening theory. My lessons are interactive and engaging—I use puzzles, real game examples, and practical exercises to make learning fun and effective. I also provide regular feedback and practice plans so students can track their progress. Whether you're a beginner or a tournament player, my goal is to make chess simple, enjoyable, and rewarding for you.
