Leo - Lyon36€

36€Private chess tutor. From beginner to intermediate. Learning from Soviet textbooks translated into French.

Trusted teacher: Have you always wanted to learn how to play chess? Chess isn't just a game of thought and strategy; it's a powerful metaphor for life. By learning to play, you'll develop essential skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. Every move on the board is an opportunity to plan, anticipate, and react—valuable skills both on and off the board. These courses are for anyone who wants to discover or learn more about chess. Whether you're a primary school student, a university student, a professional, or a senior, it's never too late to learn. Hello, my name is Lev, I'm 19 years old and a refugee from Ukraine. I've been living in France since 2022 and have been passionate about chess since childhood. Trained according to Soviet standards, I firmly believe that chess develops essential skills for real life. I offer courses based on the book "Journey to the Kingdom of Chess" by Avérbakh You.L. and Beïlin MA, published in 1970. This book is considered one of the best for beginners from the Soviet era. It offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to chess, covering the basics while gradually introducing more advanced concepts. For intermediate players, we will study together the book series "The School of Higher Mastery" by Mark Dvoretsky. This four-book set is renowned for its in-depth and structured approach, allowing players to take their chess skills to the next level. These works cover essential aspects such as strategy, tactics, endgames, and the psychology of the game.

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.

Dmytro

I had my first class with Dmytro and I really enjoyed it. He takes his classes very seriously (he was very punctual, he had indicated to me in advance the apps/tools needed for the class, he was asking if I have questions, he replied very quickly to my messages before the class...). Also, he was very patient with me (I have a low level in chess...). I liked a lot that he was not just explaining "book" theory of chess, but also the practical tricks. I will book a second class. 100% recommended :)
