GM Ilja Zaragatski

Hi! I'm a 38-year-old GM from Hamburg, Germany, and - among other things - you might know me from chessemy.com and chess24. I cover the complete range of topics in chess training. I consider teaching students how to train chess the right way and supporting their autonomous training to be one of the most essential duties of a good chess coach.

Among other things, I've been giving online lessons for more than 10 years :)

I like to focus on teaching strategic reasoning and optimizing my students' general thinking and decision-making processes.
My opening specialties include the French, the Benko, the Sicilian, the Queen's Gambit, and a flexible Reti/English repertoire.

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.
