If you want to improve your rankings in chess or just beat all of your friends, that's the place to be.

Learning chess isn't as complicated or tedious as the chess industry makes it look. Chess is not a game of memorizing.

There is so much noise about chess on the net. There are endless books, courses, videos, and articles pushing their own made-up agenda that isn't based on any real understanding of how the game works fundamentally.

I am here to guide you through this storm. I will teach you how to think from the first principles. You will learn how to think and not what to think, and will inevitably achieve all your goals.

I’ve been working with a former World Champion u20 and a team of Grandmasters for the last few years, and we have developed the best teaching method in the world.

So, what do you get? Personalized experience, best teaching method, and improving your chess skills the fastest way possible.

If that sounds like something you want to do, fill out the form below, and we will take it from there.

I also got a bonus for you. After our first lesson, I will send you a brilliant lecture about chess learning created by our team.

I have been playing for about 19 years, defeating many International Masters and Grandmasters in international tournaments.
The most memorable games to me:
- I have won a grandmaster with a rating of 2485 in a complex and dynamic opening King’s Indian defense with the black pieces. www.365chess.com/game.php?gid=4060258
- That's another game in which I confidently won an international master with a rating of 2505 in the Saemisch system. www.365chess.com/game.php?gid=4045007

I currently hold two International Master norms as well as the FIDE rating of 2394.

I have been teaching chess for over 7 years at school and online. I have obtained a bachelor's degree in pedagogy, which helps me find an individual approach to students. Since graduation, my complete focus has been on coaching, immersing myself in the world of chess.
I have managed to achieve excellent results with my students. Some of them:
- A young talent has been working with me for about 5 years. During that period, I helped him increase his FIDE rating from 1300 to 2260 and achieve top places in various youth national championships.
- I have been working with an investment professional who greatly benefits from the game. In his own words: “Chess has helped me get my long-term strategy right and predict various outcomes. It also keeps my mind sharp.”


I will broaden your game understanding and teach you to think unbiasedly. You will receive a personalized study plan designed for your level and playing style.

Here is what you can expect from a lesson with me:
- I will examine your games inside-out to understand your most common mistakes, and we will work them through. It will guide you in the right direction.
- We will focus on building up your opening repertoire and learning patterns using an innovative teaching approach.
- We will study classical games, from ancient masters to modern-era champions, that will boost your pattern recognition.
- As homework, you'll get interactive studies on strategic and tactical topics and different tasks based on your level and goals.
