About me

From 2016 to 2020, I ran my own offline chess school, which had about 120 children. In September 2020, I switched to an online format, abandoning organizational work in favor of developing my own teaching methods.

Teaching methodology

My coaching approach is based on a special algorithm for studying theoretical material structured by topic and complexity. Based on the current level and mistakes of the student, we will address various theoretical issues in the optimal order. We will study problem areas using additional databases of positional puzzles and training positions.

I teach understanding of chess strategy based on the special rule system. Based on it, I explain in simple words the logic of making complex positional decisions in typical positions.

I structure work on the opening taking into account the preferences and level of the student: you will receive a pgn-file only with those variations that your future opponent is most likely to play. Based on this, we will determine exemplary games for study and training positions for playing with a sparring partner.

I am working on eliminating blunders in the games of my students, using my own antiblunder puzzle database, which helps the students to significantly reduce the number of blunders in their games.

Coaching experience: 12 year. Student results:

✅ a lot of champions and oher medalists of the children's championships of Russian regions;

✅ winners of the stages of the Children Russia Cup;

✅ silver medalist of Berlin under 8.

The typical structure of our lesson:

✅checking homework (positional puzzles or training games with a sparring partner);

✅analysis of the student's recent games and fixing the mistakes in the form of diagrams in a special spreadsheet (by means of an own script);

✅theoretical part (based on the frequent mistakes): a thematic structured block of rules and typical positions; interactive analysis of an exemplary game; studying of the opening variation;

✅"antiblunder" puzzles or positional puzzles;

✅summing up of the lesson and new homework.
