FREE 30-MINUTE INTRODUCTORY CALL

Hello! My name is Emmanuel Jiménez García, International Master from Costa Rica and chess coach.

I help students improve through structured game analysis, practical decision-making training, and personalized study plans. My coaching is not based only on memorizing openings or solving random puzzles — I focus on helping students understand how they think during a game, identify recurring mistakes, and build better habits over time.

TEACHING APPROACH

My lessons are usually built around two main parts:

1. Analysis of your own games

We review your recent games, especially the critical moments where the result was decided. I focus on your thought process, candidate moves, calculation, opening decisions, strategic plans, and recurring patterns.

2. Targeted training positions

I prepare positions based on your level and needs. These are not only tactics, but practical decision-making positions where you must evaluate, calculate, compare plans, and choose a move as if you were playing a real game.

Depending on the student, we may also work on:

- Opening understanding and practical repertoires

- Calculation and visualization

- Positional understanding

- Endgame fundamentals

- Tournament preparation

- Homework and Lichess studies

- Long-term training habits

My goal is not just to show better moves, but to help you understand why you choose certain moves and how to make better decisions on your own.
