I am a German player, aged 27, my ELO and my national rating (DWZ) are a little less than 2200, my peak has been a little less than 2250. I live in Southern Germany with my beloved girlfriend Daria.

I first started teaching children, when I was 11 years old. My then mentor confided me the direction of my school's chess team, because I was conscientious and the strongest player of our team.

Simultaneously I entered my first chess club, SC Neckarsulm. Soon after, I began training all the members, too. When I was 17 years old, I won the U18 Youth Championship of my county Wuerttemberg (~ 6 000 000 inhabitants) and I became five weeks later 8th in the U18 Youth Championship of Germany. I was fascinated by my chess coach Dirk Maxion, who has been an experienced German Bundesliga player for almost two decades.

I seldomly play chess in tournaments, because I visit those tournaments mostly to train students of mine, in order to support them in general, prepare them and analyze their games. Before COVID19, I used to play both in an Austrian 2nd League and in an German 5th League with my teams Royal Salzburg and SK Rochade Augsburg.

In chess, I like a logical approach. I have lots of useful material of my disposal. One can choose me to help analyzing one's games. I also want to share my knowledge in opening, endgames and in pattern recognition. Let's use some mnemonics to remember and use our lessons learnt in practice.

I speak German and English, that's why I am capable of teaching in both languages. I train a lot via the internet. Useful softwares are teamviewer, skype, discord, anymeeting, zoom ...
