About me

Hello,

This is FM Deniz Arman. I am 39 years old Professional Chess Coach & Active Chess Player with 2 IM Norms achieved in 2024 & 2025. I am currently responsible as Swedish National Team Leader for Girls in Flick-NM 2025 arranged in Fredericia, Denmark.

I am living in Nybro, Sweden together with my wife & 3 years old son. I work full-time as Professional Chess Coach, Chess Commentator for Official Chess Events for Swedish Chess Federation & Chess Streamer with +10K followers on Social Media.

I play for Växjö SK in Allsvenskan (Swedish Chess League - Elite Division)

My current Standard Elo rating is 2371. Fide Profile: ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=6302106

I work as a Professional Chess Coach since year 2010 and I've been actively participating at International Chess Tournaments around the world since my childhood. Over the years, I have worked with many students at various ages & levels and many of my students succeeded to deliver highly impressive results from beginner level up to 1800. I also train with students currently with rating around 1900 up to 2200 elo.

As a professional chess coach, I offer one-to-one lessons 1-2 times per week and my students receive online training materials from me.

I believe that golden rule to get better and become successful in chess is to;

* Love the game itself
* Willingness to work hard in order to get better
* Get support of a professional chess coach who can share knowledge, his / her experience and also can guide you to train your skills in right direction.

In addition, I am a well-known Chess Commentator & Chess Streamer on Twitch Community (www.twitch.tv/fedamaster)

You are more than welcome to contact me if you are looking for private chess lessons online to improve your chess skills. I would like to note that I have many good references regarding my coaching skills.

Feel free to contact regarding lessons and together we can create a sustainable training plan that will help you to improve your chess skills in long term and hopefully to achieve your personal goals in this great game.

Best Regards,

FM Deniz Arman

Teaching experience

I have an industrial engineer background with a masters degree in Project Management.

Over the years I have worked within many different areas in multinational companies including customers support, finance specialist, point of sales, sales & account manager.

Over the last 7 years, I ve been working as Professional Chess coach, Chess commentator & instructor & chess streamer. In line with all these activities, I am trying to participate actively in chess tournaments as much as so that I can share up-to-date knowledge and experience with my students and audience.

Other experiences

I have been working as a Chess commentator mainly for Official Chess Events in collaboration with Swedish Chess Federation (schack.se/)

I worked as commentator to Internationally recognized Elite Chess Events mainly Chess Olympiads, European Team Championships & also to many local Chess events organized in Sweden.

Considering myself an experienced Chess Commentator, I am open for new collaborations and if you are interested in hiring me as chess commentator for your official or online chess events, please feel free to communicate with me via (fedamastertv@gmail.com)

Best skills

I am a strong tactical player with great understanding of tactical concepts in chess. This is a great opportunity for my students to improve their tactical skills too.

My teaching style is interactive & also we will be working on instructive examples together but also you will be receiving homeworks (optional) to be able to work yourself during your free times.

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology usually starts by analyzing games of my students 4-5 games together and then we can identify the needs and weaknesses that we will need to improve in long term.

Together with my students, we tend to focus on different aspects of chess games each and every lesson. My students can always expect variety in content of lessons that I offer and the way I introduce themes in chess usually helps my students to stay focused. In my opinion, learning chess should never be too much boring.

I never ask my students to memorize meaningless sequence of moves. My teaching methodology is based on the philosophy to understand logic behind patterns and various chess moves in chess games.

Over the years I got the opportunity to build up a comprehensive chess database tailored special to the needs of my students in order to help them develop their skills further in different parts of the game including endgame , middle game, openings.
