GM Toms Kantans

I am a chess Grandmaster with more than 20 years of playing and training experience.
For the past 20 years I have been constantly part of national youth and adult teams. During that time I have gained invaluable experience of working with different high level coaches and players.
I have successfully helped multiple students reach their desired goals and results.

I believe that we should play out the games we have got. That's the reason why I have managed to win multiple open tournaments more than full point ahead of competition. My best wins include:

Winning Vaujany international chess tournament in France with 8,5 out of 9, elo performance 2868 and exceeding Grand Master normative by 2 full points.

Being the first in over 30 years to win International Hasslhocher schachtage in Germany with 7 out of 7.

Winning XXXI Aberto Internacional Albarino in Spain with 8,5 out of 9.

I approach every student very individually, judging from the needs we work out plan on what we are going to work on and systematically work on improving weakest links. Also I believe it is highly important to analyze own games to eliminate mistakes from repeating.
