I have been a coach for around five years. I have worked with players of different skill and experience levels, from beginners to intermediate players, as well as junior national champions.

Besides coaching, I do commentary, public lectures, and play myself of course.

If you decide to improve your chess under my guidance, you get:

1. Unique repertoire assembled specifically for you.
2. You will always know what type of training you should do on your own.
3. Description of your strengths and weaknesses
4. Targeted work with tested materials
5. Preparation for tournaments games
6. Text support in between lessons (whatsapp or any other)

I prefer to be very specific with all parts of training (openings, psychology, calculation, intuitive play etc). There are many approaches possible to improve various weaknesses. However, since all people are unique, I'm trying to find a training that fits a person and available time. If I notice that a student enjoys doing something significantly more (playing, openings, tactics, watching games, reading books etc), I build a training process in a way, that gets the most out of a practice that my student enjoys the most.
