About Me

I was born in a town called Skipton, North Yorkshire. So naturally I've a Northern UK accent. But having taught some twenty years, I typically speak slowly and enunciate clearly.

I very much believe in keeping things as simple as possible, so as to aid practical application. Too much detail early on can overwhelm, and damage confidence. Once a skill has been practised a while, more detail can be added in.

In my personal life, I no live in Larne, Northern Ireland - having moved to Ireland with my wife in 2009. My hobbies include gardening and reading.

Step by Step Chess Training with GM & FIDE Trainer Nikola Nestorovic
Hi, I’m Grandmaster and FIDE Trainer Nikola Nestorovic. I’ve been playing chess since early childhood and teaching professionally for almost ten years. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of students — from the current European Champion, who is also one of the Top 100 Grandmasters in the world, and some of the most talented US prodigies, to complete beginners who simply want to enjoy chess and improve. What I enjoy most is helping each student grow at their own pace. I teach online using Zoom and the Lichess Study option, which makes the lessons very interactive — we can go through games together, practice ideas, and analyze positions in real time. What we work on depends on you, but usually includes: Openings – building a repertoire you feel comfortable with. Strategy & Positional Play – learning how to place your pieces and make strong plans. Calculation & Tactics – becoming sharper and more confident in complex positions. Endgames – mastering the techniques that often decide the result. I like to keep lessons clear, practical, and enjoyable. My goal is to help you understand chess more deeply and play with greater confidence — step by step, at your own pace. All ages and levels are welcome, and I’ll be glad to share this journey with you.

Chess lessons and coaching for beginners to advanced students
I am an experienced chess player and teacher, with many tournament victories in Japan, where I currently reside. My rating is around 2000 FIDE, and I am comfortable teaching students from absolute beginner level up to about 2000 FIDE, both online and face-to-face (depending on location). I can teach lessons in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, upon request. I can also teach in Japanese, at a basic level, though due to my mediocre Japanese language ability, some slight misunderstandings may occur during classes. The classes are customized according to the needs of the student. For instance, with beginners, the focus is on tactics, pattern recognition, and learning basic opening principles, endgames, and stategy. For advanced players, the coaching is much more personalized, and may focus on aspects such as identifying and improving their specific weaknesses, or helping them refine their opening repertoire for an upcoming tournament. I am happy to discuss the needs of each student at length before starting classes, and regardless of what we agree on, I expect my students to make their best efforts during the classes and hope to really challenge them to think deeply about the material.
