Jerfi - Derby, United Kingdom36€

36€Chess coaching for beginner/intermediate chess players.

Chess coaching from a top 1% player. 1700 rated on chess.com. New to chess, this is the class for you! With a patient and student led focus, I aim to inspire you to be passionate about chess and understand the underlying principles behind why top players make the moves they make. With quite a positional and methodical approach to the game I teach in a principled way. Often called ‘Russian school boy’ the style I try to emulate is that of Karpov, who frustrates his opponents with unending rigour, like a boa constrictor squeezing his opponent’s position.

Trusted teacher: My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments. For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian. Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence. Some figures to know me better: • 10 years of experience in teaching chess • 20 years of experience in club and competition • Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms • More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing. My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes: 1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames. 2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises. 3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games. My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

Stephen - Dublin, IrelandRecently active41€

41€Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player

Trusted teacher: Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.
