Hello! My name is Nazar Laptii, and I am a chess coach from Ukraine.

I am a FIDE Master with over 14 years of practical chess experience and more than 5 years of coaching experience. My passion for chess began in early childhood, and since then I have successfully competed in national and international tournaments.

I help students improve their chess understanding, develop strategic and analytical thinking, prepare for tournaments, and build a strong individual playing style. My approach is personalized: I adapt the training process to each student’s goals, strengths, weaknesses, and preferred style of play.

During the lessons, we can work on:

game analysis;
opening preparation;
middlegame strategy;
endgame technique;
tactical vision;
tournament preparation;
opponent-specific preparation;
independent study guidance.

I also focus on teaching students how to study chess independently: working with chess books, analyzing games, preparing openings, and improving decision-making during practical play.

Lessons are conducted online via Google Meet.

Hourly rate: $15 per hour
