IM Loay Sameer

International Chess player (IM) with over 15 years of playing experience and over 5 years in coaching

I participated in many International Strong Tournaments, which gave me decent experience handling multiple stages of the game. I intend to pass this accumulated knowledge on to you during our training session.

I worked with many players from around the world and they achieved their goals ( gaining rating points, defeating their friends, winning a certain tournament, etc...)
Notable student's achievements:
- shared 2nd in the African youth championship U14 G
- Champion of Jordan U16 O
- 3rd Place in the World Cadets Championship U8
- Trained my University team to get first place in the Jordanian Universities Championship (2 years in a row).
- gaining huge rating in a short period (+300 in one month, 1200 --> 1500)
- a leap from 1700 to 2000 in 4 months

- We will focus on Tactics to understand and recognize different tactical patterns as it is the essence of the game in my opinion.
- We will understand the concept of candidate moves and how to calculate in chess also we will explore the subject of Static and dynamic play.
- I explain Endgame a lot as many players neglect this stage of the game, which will give you a huge advantage over your opponents if you can master it or at least understand how to think and where to look in the Endgame.
- we will explore different openings with you and choose a suitable one for your style of playing (aggressive or positional)
- Exploring different openings requires knowledge of different pawn structures so we will study this subject as well
- and last but not least we will analyze your games and focus on your weak points which will save you a ton of time as the coach's main mission is to find your weakness and handle it
- I will provide you with all the material we study together to review it by yourself, furthermore, I will also provide you with different pgns and pdf books if you like to study even harder by yourself
