My name is Taron Babumyan. I am a FIDE-rated chess player (1662) and a professional chess coach with over 20 years of teaching experience.

I am a FIDE-rated chess player (1662) with over 20 years of coaching experience in Armenia and the United States.

I have worked as a coach at Davtashen Chess Academy and as a referee with the Chess Federation of Armenia. I have trained students of all ages (children and adults), from complete beginners to tournament players.

Throughout my career, I have trained students of all levels — from beginners learning the basics to competitive tournament players. My goal as a coach is not only to improve rating, but to develop strong positional understanding, calculation skills, and confident decision-making.

I provide structured and personalized lessons based on each student’s level and goals. Training includes opening principles, middlegame strategy, tactical improvement, and endgame technique.

My students include:
• Armenian Champion (2004)
• Yerevan Champion (2020)

My coaching style is structured, professional, and supportive. I focus on improving calculation, positional understanding, and tournament confidence.
