I have been consulting players of different levels on opening and some other chess issues for lots of years of my career.

I am currently studying math at Szeged University

I am an universal player, so I can help you with both positional and tactical strategies. I am a specialist at solid openings, which serve for long and cannot be refuted. Such openings are highly used by top players.

The teaching methodology highly depends on the student's level. But the most effective and efficient way used in my lessons is:
Firstly, I analyze student's games and find out weaknesses and strengths.
Secondly, we choose the most weak spot and eliminate it by studying thematic games and solving puzzles. It helps to increase overall student's understanding of chess and playing level.
Finally, we work other weaknesses out and achieve playing of much higher level.
I also use training games with students in order to help them to remember some theoretical lines and find out opening's features.
Students may ask any questions not only during sessions but also after them via messengers.
