I coach players of all levels who are serious about making consistent, long-term improvement. My coaching is best suited to students who want to train regularly, study between lessons, and actively work on the weaknesses we identify. Whether you're just starting out, trying to break through a rating plateau, or competing at an advanced or tournament level, I'll adapt the training to your goals, strengths, weaknesses, and playing style. My Coaching Approach I don't just tell you the best move—I teach you how to find better moves yourself. When we analyze your games, we'll look beyond the engine: - What did you miss? - Why did you miss it? - What should you have considered? - How can you recognize the same situation next time? The goal is to develop a reliable thinking process that continues helping you long after the lesson is over. What We Can Work On ♟️ Game Analysis — Find the recurring mistakes that are costing you games. ♟️ Calculation — Learn a repeatable process for calculating instead of relying on intuition alone. ♟️ Strategy — Learn how to evaluate positions and formulate plans before relying on the engine. ♟️ Openings — Build a repertoire around positions you understand and enjoy playing. ♟️ Practical Chess — Improve time management, decision-making, and performance under pressure. ♟️ Endgames — Improve your technique for converting advantages and defending difficult positions. Depending on your goals, our training can help you: - Stop repeatedly losing winning positions. - Calculate more accurately under time pressure. - Identify the mistakes that are holding your rating back. - Turn game analysis into concrete training rather than simply looking at engine lines. A Personalized Training Process We'll start by analyzing your games and identifying the areas that will have the biggest impact on your results. From there, we'll follow a simple cycle: Analyze → Identify → Train → Apply → Review I'm looking for students who are committed to consistent training and willing to put in work between lessons. The biggest improvements come from putting new ideas into practice, analyzing your games, and continuously addressing your weaknesses. If you're looking for a long-term coaching relationship and want a structured approach to becoming a stronger player, I'd be happy to work with you. Book a trial lesson, and let's identify what's holding your chess back and build a plan to improve it.
