Coaching Philosophy

I believe chess is not just a game, but a tool for developing logic, concentration, and creativity. My teaching approach focuses on understanding — not memorization — and aims to help each student build independent thinking and strategic awareness. Every student learns differently, so I adapt the material to their pace and personal goals.
