Whether you’re a complete beginner learning how the pieces move, a parent looking for a fun and educational activity for your child, or an adult hoping to refine your strategy, these lessons are designed for you.

I first began teaching chess at Fernwood Primary School, where I introduced 10–11-year-olds to new tactics, strategic thinking, and proper chess etiquette. Some of my students even went on to represent England and Nottinghamshire in national competitions — an experience that showed me how rewarding it is to help others grow through the game.

My lessons are engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student’s level and goals. We’ll cover everything from openings and mid-game strategy to endgames and competitive play, always at a comfortable pace.

Whether you want to play socially, compete in tournaments, or simply strengthen your focus and problem-solving skills, I’ll help you develop confidence and enjoy every move on the board.

Practical Chess Mastery for Beginners & Intermediates

♟️ Course Overview
Are you stuck in the 800–1200 rating range? Do you find yourself winning a great position only to blunder it away in the endgame? This course is designed to bridge the gap between "moving the pieces" and playing real chess.

Led by Andrei Daniel, an active competitive player in the Romanian chess circuit, this course focuses on the practical skills you need to stop losing to yourself and start beating your opponents. Unlike courses by Super GMs that focus on complex theory you’ll never use, we focus on the 1600-level fundamentals that actually decide games at the club level.

👨‍🏫 About Your Instructor
Andrei Daniel is not just an online player; he is a battle-tested tournament competitor.

Arena FIDE Master (AFM): Officially recognized title by the World Chess Federation.

Active Club Player: Regular competitor in Romanian national leagues and tournaments.

Practical Experience: With a playing strength of ~2300, Andrei specializes in the exact transition phase where most players get stuck: moving from beginner intuition to intermediate calculation.

🚀 What You Will Learn
This course is divided into two tracks depending on your current level:

Track 1: The Foundation (Rating 400 – 1000)
Stop the Bleeding: How to perform a "Blunder Check" before every move.

Opening Principles > Memorization: Why controlling the center matters more than memorizing 15 moves of theory.

Tactical Vision: Spotting the forks, pins, and skewers that win games instantly.

The "Checkmate Pattern" Library: Essential mating nets every beginner must know.

Track 2: The Club Player (Rating 1000 – 1500)
Thinking Like a Tournament Player: How to calculate variations without getting confused.

Positional Squeeze: Creating long-term weaknesses in your opponent's camp when there are no immediate tactics.

Endgame Essentials: King activity, opposition, and how to convert a pawn-up advantage into a win.

Opening Repertoire: Building a solid, low-maintenance opening set for White and Black (e.g., London System, Caro-Kann, or similar solid structures).

💡 Why This Course?
Real-Game Analysis: We won't just study famous games from the 1800s. We will analyze your games to find your specific bad habits.

Psychology of Chess: Learn how to handle time pressure and recover from a bad loss.

Direct Feedback: Get personalized advice from a coach who plays competitively in the modern era.

🎓 Who Is This For?
Beginners who know the rules but don't have a plan.

Online Players (Chess.com/Lichess) who want to cross the 1200 or 1500 Elo barrier.

Adult Improvers looking for a structured, no-nonsense approach to learning.

Ready to Level Up?
Stop playing on autopilot. Join Andrei Daniel and build the foundation for a lifetime of better chess.

My approach is founded on a simple principle: interest + understanding = confidence. I avoid burdening children with dry theory. Instead, through games, puzzles, and engaging tasks, I reveal how the minds of great chess players operate. We analyze games like detective stories, where every move is a clue to be deciphered.

Why do parents entrust me with their children?

🧠 I develop thinking, not just teach rules. Your child will learn to analyze situations, anticipate consequences, and make deliberate decisions—both in the game and in life.

👧 I am committed to every child. I successfully engage with students as young as four, understanding how to maintain a preschooler's focus and how to intellectually challenge a teenager.

📈 I create an individual learning path for each student. I begin by understanding your child's character and goals, then build a tailored program that fits them precisely.

🏆 I take pride in my students' achievements. It is important to me that a child not only understands chess but also experiences the thrill of their first victories—whether in a tournament or simply in solving a difficult puzzle.

My primary goal is to see your child's eyes light up after every lesson, with new ideas sparking in their mind.

Maître International (2400 Elo), Diplômé DAFFE et DEFFE de la Fédération Française des Échecs, j’enseigne les échecs depuis plus de 15 ans à des enfants, adolescents et adultes.

Mes cours en ligne sont clairs, structurés et orientés résultats, quel que soit votre niveau.

Objectif : progresser efficacement tout en prenant plaisir à jouer :)

En parallèle de l’enseignement, je partage également ma pédagogie sur YouTube et en streaming, où j’analyse des parties et explique les idées clés de façon claire et accessible.

Cela permet aux élèves de retrouver les notions vues en cours et de progresser aussi en dehors des séances.

This class is designed for children who want to learn chess in a structured, engaging, and result-oriented way. With over 7 years of full-time coaching experience and 600+ students trained globally, I focus on building strong fundamentals and gradually preparing students for competitive play and tournaments.

The sessions cover all key phases of the game — openings, middlegame planning, tactical awareness, calculation, and endgames. Equal importance is given to thinking process, decision-making, and handling wins and losses, which are essential for long-term growth in chess.

Each student is guided based on their current level and learning pace. Regular game analysis and feedback help identify mistakes and convert them into learning opportunities. My teaching approach is friendly, patient, and disciplined, ensuring that students stay motivated while improving consistently.

This class is suitable for beginners as well as intermediate players aiming to improve their ratings, confidence, and tournament performance.
