Playing experience

I have been playing chess professionally for 10 years. I am a FIDE Master. I was a member of Russian National Youth Chess team.
Main game achievements:
• Multiple winner of the Russian Youth Championships in Classical and Rapid Chess (under the age of 14, 16 and 18, Sochi)
• Participant of the European Youth Championship (2016, Prague)
• Participant of the Rapid Chess and Blitz World Championship among men (2018, Saint Petersburg)
• Winner and prizewinner of regional and all-Russia sports competitions of Russian students (2013, 2015)
• Prizewinner of the Championship of the Russian Student Sports Union (2016, Belgorod)
• Prizewinner of the all-Russia Student Sports Festival (2016, Perm)
• Two-time participant of the Russian Rapid Grand Prix final (2015-2016 Khanty-Mansiysk)
• Multiple winner and prizewinner of the Krasnoyarsk Region and the Siberian Federal District.

Teaching experience

I have been coaching since 2015. I have extensive experience working with students of different age groups (from 4-year-olds to adults 60+).
I cooperate with large industrial companies (Polyus, Rosneft) to train their employees for the corporate sports competitions on an ongoing basis (chess direction).
I train both individually and in groups.
I have experience in compiling debut courses, bases on tactics, middlegame and endgame.
Main coaching achievements:
• My students have repeatedly become prizewinners of the Russian Championships, as well as winners and prizewinners of regional contests.
• More than 60 people have received and improved their sports categories.
• 7 people have become Candidates for Master of Sports.

Teaching methodology

I work for the result. Depending on the goals and objectives of the trainees, the training can be aimed both at improving the level of play and chess skills in general, and at effective participation in specific competitions: championships, corporate sports contests, etc.
An individual program is developed for each student and may include:
• Opening preparation
• Learning the basis of middlegame and endgame
• Training games and following analysis
• Preparation for a specific opponent, etc.
