About me

Hello! I am Panagiotis Hristodoulou, a dedicated International Master with over 20 years of competitive chess experience and a passion for teaching. I have supported players of all ages with their preparation for National, European, and World Championships. I have competed in numerous national and international tournaments and I am the top-rated player in Heraklion. Since 2016 I am the main coach and manager of the OFI Chess Club. I have also served as the federation coach for Greek national teams at European Championships.

As you can see in my profile picture, everyone in our family shares a passion for chess!

Other experiences

I hold a chess coaching diploma from the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports, and a degree in Automation Engineering from the University of Athens.

As a coach, I believe in tailoring my approach to fit each student's unique needs. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced player aiming to refine your strategies, I can help you reach your goals. My lessons are interactive and focus on practical application, covering everything from opening theory to endgame mastery.
