Hello! My name is Mihailo Djokic from Serbia. I am 21 years old and have been playing chess since I was four years old, with serious training starting at the age of twelve. I use these many years of experience as my main tool for helping my students improve. Feel free to message me any time if you are interested.

I have taught chess for three years and have successfully succeeded with my students. For example, one of my best students, Efi Rosenborg, went from a 1500 rating to almost 2100 in just 6 months of working with me. I have also worked with several players from the US and some have even won over-the-board tournaments in the USCF rating system. I feel immense pride and joy seeing my students make remarkable progress!

Couple of things that might help you:

1. Before making your move, take the time to consider your opponent's position and what their next move might be. This helps you stay focused and relaxed, giving you a better chance of finding the best move and uncovering tactical ideas.

2. Be disciplined when thinking through your moves. Keep in mind that even one mistake can ruin your entire game, as chess can be unpredictable.

3. Always look for tactics and evaluate the long-term strategy of each position. Calculate, imagine the board, and cover the entire board every time you think to maximize your time efficiency.

4. Pick one opening and practice tactics and strategy within that opening. This will provide you with direction and help you improve more quickly.

5. Don't get caught up in who you're playing against—instead, focus solely on the board and pieces, and think without bias. This gives you the best chance of success.

Teaching methodology (By lessons)

Lesson 1: Analyze two games played against students as white and black, focusing on identifying mistakes, missing tactics, making strategic decisions, and assessing tactical calculations. See if there are better alternatives.

Lessons 2 and 3: Begin to work with students on the fundamentals of openings. Identify the student's style, suggest an appropriate opening, and explain the strategy behind the move. 

Lessons 4 and 5: Further explore the opening with strategic suggestions and explain the general principles behind them.

Lessons 6 and 7: Introduce the basics of strategy, starting with simple positions that require the student to recognize the strategic idea within 1-3 moves, and working up to more complex positions that require 3-5 moves. Assess the student's level to determine the difficulty of the exercises.

Lesson 8: Every 7-8 lessons I analyze student games and follow improvement over these lessons, trying to identify things I did not before so we can compensate for missing stuff from before, which is very important for long-term improvement.

Lesson 9: Beginning of the endgame stuff: General discussion about endgames, going through examples and reviewing them.

Lesson 10: Playing with the students again but this time analyzing things deeper because we already had some experience working together so we can share our thoughts during games and discuss things we already worked on.

Between Lessons: You will get specific material that is up to your free material strategy to manage to work on chess, tactical material strategy and opening stuff, and general advice which I create in meantime between our lessons.
