Best skills

I use the most modern opening theory and the latest chess programs:
🔖 Chessbase and other chess software (professionally & regularly) for more than 6 years;
🔖 the strongest chess engines and neural networks such as Leela Zero, Stockfish, Fat Fritz.

Thanks to the large number of openings and classical positions I have studied for both colors and the conducted analysis on them, I am able to tell you everything about any chess opening in detail.

No doubts that your opponent can’t surprise you at the start of the game after our classes 😉

Teaching methodology

📚 I have an individual approach to each of my students, taking into account their preferences and possibilities.
On our first lesson we will discuss your playing style and analyze your 10 last games. After the analysis I point out what are your strengths which we are going to build into a weapons and weaknesses which we are going to focus to eliminate.

Class format
📌 A developed individual study plan and program of classes for you with instructions how to use the material (customized to your needs)
📌 24/7 support — I am in touch with you in case you have any questions or difficulties
