Playing experience

Chess achievements: Winner of different chess tournaments including Armenian Highest League 2017, 7th Annual Washington International - Masters , 2018 U.S. Masters Championship, 2018 Fall Chess Classic - B Saint Louis, 27th Annual Kings Island Open, 10th Annual Southwest Class Championship, 2019 U.S. Masters Championship, Armenian Chess Champion 2017, 29th North American Open.

Teaching experience

Actively coaching since 2015, working with students from 1500-2400. Priority for me is to work with each of my students personally, so materials are being prepared after investigating a player's style, weaknesses so that they help to target chess problems of the player. Expert in Sicilian defense for both colors.
