Improve your chess skills with high-quality lessons designed to help you with opening knowledge, middlegame strategy, endgame strategy, and tactical calculations. I provide personalized support and homework to ensure you make progress every step of the way.
I am Ilija Stanojevic 22 years old. I live in Belgrade in Serbia. I started with chess when I was 4 years old. More than 4 years of coaching beginners in an earlier stage. The concept of my lessons is planned in advance for at least 10 lessons. I will make a plan for how we will work after I see what is the most critical segment of your understanding of chess. That's the part that we are starting
My program features
I offer a comprehensive training program that covers various aspects of the game. This includes teaching opening theory such as Sicilian Defence, French Defence, Kings Indian, Pirc, Dutch and different gambits based on your style of play. Additionally, I focus on developing middlegame strategy and tactics by providing tricks and tips and enhancing basic understanding through the process of thinking. Endgame principles are also discussed, with emphasis on King activity, Rook and Queen endgames, and general principles. I also provide guidance on calculation and positional understanding by offering tactical tips, identifying weaknesses, and crucially focusing on what to think about. In analyzing games, I show students what they should play, consider psychological factors, time control, and provide personal advice/experience. I assess the student's playing style, whether positional or aggressive, and help them find an opening repertoire based on that. To further enhance their knowledge and success in endgames, specific endgames are studied, and additional homework in the form of Chessbase or Lichess files is given. Homework is based on the concepts discussed in the lesson, which helps students control their improvement. For long-term progress, a plan is formulated after one month of lessons.

Best skills
I am well-versed in all aspects of chess, with a particular focus on the middle game and strategy. While I am proficient in the opening, I believe that strengthening one's understanding of strategy and tactics is the key to success in chess. Many players lack a strong foundation in these areas, and improving this can significantly improve their overall play.
