Experience and dedication. I am an old-man that lived a lot of things (since the defeat of Botvinnik, who was my favourite chess player to the fall of Soviet Union, passing through the chess revolution that gave us the strongest chess generation in history) and who can teach you the beauty of chess at the same we improve your playing.
He is considered an universal chess player, either with the opening or the middlegame and the endgame. According to him, theory is important in chess, but not the most important.
With him, you will have more than an instructor, coach, trainer or master: you also will have a friend, a person that will be with you, in all aspects of your chess training and life. Why? Because he wants you understand the wonderful meaning of chess and his relationship with life: to value its meaning and to be a better person through a perspective only chess, and its deepness, can give you.

My chess training system is based in dialectics:

Unit 3: Strategy: from Ruy Lopez to Magnus Carlsen.

Unit 4: Chess history.

Unit 5: Analysis.

Unit 6: Blitz, Rapid and Standard preparation.
