My Philosophy. I believe real chess improvement comes from disciplined, over-the-board study, classic books, and honest feedback. No shortcuts, no gimmicks—just pure chess. I push students to build strong fundamentals, analyse deeply, and train with intention. Hard work, structure, and seriousness create champions, not softwares or trends.

More than pixels and prototypes.

Services

I offer a structured, no-nonsense approach to chess improvement built on real discipline, deep understanding, and consistent over-the-board work.

My coaching covers complete training systems for ambitious players—personal guidance, group classes, opening preparation, game analysis, and my signature Chess Audit service.

Every session is designed to fix fundamental weaknesses, build decision-making skills, and help you grow with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re aiming for rating jumps or long-term mastery, you’ll get practical, honest coaching that actually works.
