As a coach, I have trained kids, adults, beginners, and intermediate players, helping them improve their game strategically.

I provide structured lessons covering opening principles, tactical and strategic play, understanding the board, middlegame planning, endgame techniques and other concepts. I also help students with game analysis, tournament preparation, and overall improvement strategies tailored to their skill level and goals.
