👑Hey! Welcome to ChessAP. I'm FIDE Candidate Master and FIDE Instructor Adriana Palao.

💓I started playing when I was 5 years old. I'd say that this really helps me in my rol as a coach because I can understand all the feelings, insecurities and motivation that a player needs since a very early age.

🏆Between my highest achievements in chess I'd highlight: Panamerican U-2000 Silver Medal, Panamerican Blitz U-2000 Gold Medal, National Youth Champion U-18; and also the fact that I play for the Honor Division League (top division) in my current location (Spain).

My peak FIDE rating: 2014

Highlighted students:
👑Nerea - Campeona Absoluta en Diferentes Categorías y Campeona de España (National Champion)
👑Jaime - Top 10 National Under10
👑"Impulsando la Dama" (female in chess programme for Federations): Main Monitor in the "New to Chess / Begginer Group.

👑Eric - tied to the 3rd 🥉 in the Catalan League 🇪🇸

Other student's has also reached their online chess goals regarding Elo

Kane from England went from 1600 to 2000 in less than 3 months.

And a long etcetera 😉

Methodology:
♟️All strands of the game are going to be seen: opening, middle and endgame. But that's not all, chess is more than its phases: strategy, tactics, creativity, critical thinking, are also some of the others areas we work on.

♟️Daily tracking of your achivements, shares, etc., throught WhatsApp, where you'll also find a community with more students, fun puzzles, mutual support.

♟️Work on your own games, perfectioning your technique and moves, and explaining the engine's feedback in human language of course!

♟️As a chess player with a career of more than 15 years I'm also willing to help you, with no extra charge, for all the side face of competitive chess, I can undestand your emotions, and the tournament factor stress is also important to work on

And a long etcetera 😉
