Best skills

📚 Great playing experience in many international tournaments, as well as a self developed methodology for teaching chess for different levels of chess, will allow to find an approach to each student and gradually turn your weaknesses into the strengths.

📚 I put a lot of emphasis on study endgames, because I have my own collections of different types of endgames, on the basis of which I'm currently writing a book.

Teaching methodology

For productive chess classes I use:
Skype and screen sharing there, such chess platforms as lichess.org and stepchess.ru, as well as a professional chess program Chessbase 16, with which I will tell you the secrets of work with cloud engines, game databases, and other useful features.
Don't miss the chance to learn something new!
