A message from the teacher

I offer structured chess lessons for players who are serious about improving.

I analyze each student’s play. I identify mistakes, habits and missing skills. I build a precise program with clear goals. The work happens during lessons, but especially between lessons.

I work with people who enjoy chess but want to go further. Players who take pleasure in the game but want to play accurately. What I offer requires commitment, because progress comes through effort — and that progress is what makes the game interesting.

I work with:
  • motivated young players;
  • serious beginners who want to build strong foundations;
  • intermediate players who have reached a plateau;
  • advanced players who want to refine their game.

I do not make promises. I offer a method.
Your progress will depend on you.

Groups

Development

This group is for players who want to discover the world of chess. We will cover how the pieces move, the rules and basic tactics, building a solid foundation so each player can improve with confidence.

ScheduleSunday · 9 to 10 a.m.

Consolidation

This group brings together players who already know the rules but do not want to stop there. Here, they learn to make their pieces work together and create real harmony on the board. We revisit basic strategies through game analysis, combining tactics and careful thought. The goal is to replace vague intuition with accurate calculation.

ScheduleSunday · 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Performance

This group is for players who no longer want simply to play good games, but to learn how to master them. We explore calculation, tactics, strategy, endgames and game analysis in greater depth. The goal is to develop players who are more accurate, more solid and better prepared for demanding games.

Admission to the Performance group requires the teacher’s approval.

ScheduleSunday · 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.
