IM Smirnov Artem

Hello! My name is Artem Smirnov, IM from Russia, Saint-Petersburg. I am 41. I have more than 12 years of live and online coaching experience.

As a chessplayer I have 5 GM norms, but have never reached 2500 level.

I have worked 3 years in the Russian sport chess school as a coach on the regular basis.

Together we can impove different aspects of your play in the opening, middlegame and endgame. Usually I compile a training plan for my students after 3-4 lessons. In the opening my main specializations are 1.D4 (main lines and Trompowsky), Sicilian on E4 and Nimzo-Indian on D4. Exepting Trompovsky I prefer classical approach to the openings. Available for lessons and games with analysis.

Usually I run lessons via Teams, mostly once a week. I prefer when my students prepare homework, which I give them after our lessons.

If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact me on my e-mail :artemij8511@yandex.ru
