I am GM Merab Gagunashvili from Georgia. I was born in Tbilisi where I made my first chess steps at age 6. I felt in love with game, even that at the beginning I was losing many games. After working with my first coaches, getting knowledge and experience, I started to win on tournaments. I won many international tournaments and played during 12 years for national team of Georgia. I was travelling all around the world, meeting many interesting people and places. Last 10 years I am working as a coach in different countries. Recently I made online chess Academy chessgagunashvili.com, where you can find my CV and more about my work.
