Training students for more than 7 years. Experience of running my own Chess Academy in my city. I have trained with students of all ages, and playing strengths, all over the world. Also conducted successfully many chess camps, and simultaneous exhibitions.

Apart from playing and teaching, I also like to write articles and work with different chess websites and apps. My chess column in newspaper (for one year) was a hit! I have written one book titled "Beautiful Puzzles".
