Hello, dear chess friends!

I'm Illia Golichenko, Chess coach and International Chess Master from Kyiv, Ukraine.
I have over 20 years of chess experience.

During my coaching career, I have worked with over 180 students from more than 40 countries, aged from 6 to 70, with different chess levels: from beginners to advanced players with a rating of over 2300.

Having a background in psychology (I have a degree in psychology) and applying my knowledge in chess lessons, I show the connection of chess with life, how chess can help in real life, and how students can use it. So during the classes, I can work with different psychological aspects of preparation and difficulties in the student's way.

I use an individual approach to each student, show my students the beauty of chess and try to find their interest and work with inspiration, so I create my lessons with humor and make them valuable and exciting for my students.

My rate is 100$/hour.

Please get in touch with me here or write me to email for more information about chess lessons.
