Teaching experience
I started teaching chess three years ago. My students have included players of all levels, from near-beginners to Candidate Masters(CM).
I specialize in practical chess improvement: building a personalized opening repertoire and teaching how to play with
a clear plan in the middlegame.
I have worked extensively with children aged 8 to 12, and I know exactly how to win at children's chess.
If you're a beginner and want to quickly improve your rating, I can select openings for both White and Black specifically for you.
As my students' results show, you'll increase your rating about 200 points in a 2 months.
If you are not new to chess, I can improve any aspect of your game. I can improve your positional understanding and tactical vision

Other experiences
My favorite chess game is Alexander Morozevich - Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Biel, 2009. I also really enjoyed the first game of the 2018 World Championship Carlsen - Caruana, 21...Nf8!! probably my favorite move in chess.
Best skills
Firstly, I know opening theory well and can help you with studying openings.
Secondly, and this is the most important, I play positionally very well. I can teach you how to maneuver pieces, make correct exchanges, how to create weaknesses in your opponent and generally all aspects of positional play.
Thirdly, I also have a sense of dynamics and like to sacrifice material for the activity of figures.
Fourthly, I can explain complex things in simple language.

Teaching methodology
With a new student, I always play one or two practice games. I need this to understand their knowledge of openings, playing style, and strengths and weaknesses. After that, we begin working on improving the weaker aspects of their game.
If you are ready to play stronger, understand positions, and win practical games, send me a message and let’s start improving.
