About me
25 yrs old, from Montenegro. Currently coaching promising young players in Montenegro and Italy.
I started playing chess at youth tournaments at the age of 13, and despite late start, have quickly become one of the most promising players in my age group in MNE. I have obtained FM title in 2017.

Teaching experience

Coach at most renowned club in MNE - Chess Club Buducnost - where I'm actively coaching MNE best cadets since 2022
I have worked in "Pavle Rovinski" elementary school from 2021-2024 as the head coach of the school's team
In Montenegro, I have captained our youth team to their victory in national cadet league in 2024. My students are multiple national cadet champions, and have playing experience from both European and World cadet championships.
I also have experience in training beginners who would just like to see their online level grow, with notable rating points increase after just a few training sessions!
Other experiences
I have annotated my games for various newspapers and books about chess (in Serbian language)
Best skills
Comparative learning - showing similar ideas by various examples. By doing this, student can associate patterns in positions more clearly and reproduce learned material in their own practice!
Teaching methodology
I have useful material in various parts of the game, and can help my student from the opening until middlegame with instructive examples of thinking process from my own games and games from the world's best players! In this way, student can absorb these thinking mechanisms and apply it in their own practice!
