I am a coach who likes to build on your game step by step in order to allow you to gradually build and strengthen all areas of your game.
> I am here to be a guide for players to become the best versions of themselves.
> I am a coach who will work with you rather than forcing you to work at things you donโ€™t enjoy.

My lessons include:

- Opening preparation
- Endgames
- Attacking concepts/ middle game strategies
- deep analysis of your past games
- Analysis of top games in the world of chess that may be relevant to your opening preferences.
-Rapid games between ourselves so that we can analyze and find potential holes or weaknesses in your game.
-24/7 questions on recommendations will always be answered by myself.
