Hello! I am an officially rated chess expert with an international FIDE Elo of 2001. Along with my chess background, I hold a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Athens (EKPA), specializing in Pedagogy and Psychology.
My competitive career features high-level achievements, including a notable official tournament victory against Grandmaster Dimitris Alexakis and a 3-0 winning record against Grandmaster Felix Izeta Flores in online blitz matches. Reaching this standard requires rigorous analytical discipline and tactical focus—skills I transfer directly to my students to improve their calculation and mental resilience.
I offer private chess lessons tailored specifically for children and beginners who want to learn the game or elevate their tactical thinking. My lessons comprehensively cover openings, endgames, and core tactical concepts, placing a heavy focus not just on raw calculation but on deep positional strategy. Using my academic background in Psychology, I focus on building a fun, supportive, and engaging learning environment.
Please note that I am also a certified Classical Guitar teacher and an active music composer. If you or your child are interested, we can combine or arrange separate lessons for both Chess and Classical Guitar!
