About Daniel
Hi, I'm Daniel! I have been playing chess for 6 years and I graduated from Lancaster University in Linguistics. I've played tournaments abroad in multiple countries such as Spain, Serbia and Thailand. I've won some tournaments and also got 2nd place in multiple opens. I'm 2100 FIDE and 2600 in online chess. I have drawn several grandmasters and beaten IMs and FMs too. Ever since I began chess, I have been constantly passionate about it every single day, and I have also always been eager to share my knowledge about it! I currently have multiple students ranging from 1000 to 1700 FIDE, and I'm open to teaching both kids and adults. I can either teach you the rules from scratch or train you to become a stronger tournament player if you already play competitively. I have a certificate as an ECU School Chess teacher that makes me qualified to teach chess to younger kids both one-on-one and in groups in schools. I will hopefully help you improve and understand the game fast :)

I can teach all levels from beginner to advanced, as well as all ages. I have fun learning and playing chess, and so I will also make the lessons a combination of learning and fun in a relaxed yet productive environment. If you're completely new to the game, I will teach you how to play it well and show you how amazing the game is. If you've already played some tournaments and you're more experienced, you can send me some tournament games before the lesson and I will analyse key positions with you and improve your ability to evaluate positions and your critical thinking skills. We will use the website lichess to analyse positions from games and can call on Microsoft Teams . Once I understand where your strengths and weaknesses lie, I will devise a strategy to help you improve in the best possible way, whether that be with your openings, middlegames or endgames. I am good at openings, so I love to look at opening theory but it is also important to keep your tactics sharp and play endgames well. At the same time, the lessons will be interesting and fun! Lessons would be 60 minutes long, and my schedule will be flexible according to whatever is most convenient for you.
Reviews

Perfect! Today I had my first chess lesson with Daniel. He's highly knowledgeable, patient, and explained key chess principles (opening development, open files etc.) to me in a way that made it easy and clear to understand. I feel I have a lot more confidence and understanding of the game. The session was well planned out, engaging, and I learned a lot. I'd most definitely recommend them to anyone looking to improve their chess. I'm excited to continue with Daniel, looking forward to my future lessons : )

Daniel is not only extremely talented as a teacher, but also one of the fastest improving players I've ever met in my entire life. He has a deep understanding of what it takes for even already very experienced players to improve, and a unique talent for discovering all of a player's strengths and weaknesses. Over the years he has not only given me most of the study techniques I employ in my day to day practice, but also very concrete recommendations on study material geared specifically towards fixing my weak points. I have spent lots of money on a variety of chess content and many titled coaches, but none of them have been as comprehensive as the lessons I have received from Daniel.
I highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to learn chess! As a complete beginner, I was really unsure about how to start learning. Luckily, I found Daniel and he made everything so much easier! He explains the basics clearly and he is super patient, I could ask him questions anytime, and he always took the time to help me understand. Thanks to his guidance, now I feel much more confident in my chess skills. If you want to learn chess, I recommend him!
Daniel is highly skilled in chess. His genuine love for the game shines through and his charismatic personableness makes studying chess with him both enjoyable and very effective for retaining the knowledge disccused. Above all, he is reliable and puts in good work to prepare effective lesson activities.
Daniel has been teaching me chess for over a year now, and his natural ability as well as his passion and enthusiasm for the game are undeniable. He is an excellent teacher, always explaining things clearly, answering any questions in lots of detail and providing context to make things as understandable as possible. His patience and kindness have made learning chess with him a really enjoyable experience. Would wholeheartedly recommend giving lessons with Daniel a try!
