About Ilya

I am committed to your success and growth, using proven methods to develop both your tactical skills and overall game strategy. Trust that with my guidance, you’ll make steady and consistent progress. I provide structured, goal-oriented lessons that help you unlock your full potential. Lichess: • Bullet: 2900 • Blitz: 2500–2600 • Rapid: 2500 Chess.com: • Bullet: 2748 • Blitz: 2404 I also hold an official online title and the corresponding document (AFM). I have defeated many strong and titled players and am ranked among the top 50 players in the world in Fischer Random Chess (Chess960) online — a chess variant that features 960 possible starting positions, where the arrangement of pieces is unique and differs from the traditional setup.

About the lesson

I offer comprehensive chess training through detailed study materials on Lichess, including annotated games and deep positional and tactical analysis tailored to each student's level and goals. My lessons are structured to not only improve your understanding of core concepts but also to enhance your practical decision-making during games.

As part of the training, we play structured practice games focused on the openings you want to master, allowing you to build a solid and personalized repertoire through experience and targeted feedback. I guide students in understanding not just the moves, but the underlying ideas, typical plans, and common traps associated with each line.

In addition to technical preparation, I place a strong emphasis on improving chess psychology — including techniques for staying focused, handling pressure, and recovering from setbacks. We also work on developing effective thinking routines and long-term improvement strategies to ensure consistent growth both over the board and online.

My goal is to provide a well-rounded training experience that supports your development as a complete player — tactically sharp, strategically sound, and mentally resilient.
