Trusted teacher: ♛ All skill levels are welcome, from the beginner eager to expand their knowledge, to more seasoned players looking to secure coveted chess titles. ● Progress in chess can be long and winding. And without a coach's guidance, bad decisions and the habit of "bad reflexes" become a drag that so many players have known. That's why when you want to ensure long-term progress, taking the advice of an experienced player will cut you short from others, and encourage you to keep going. ● The goal of the first session together will be to determine with you what is best suited to work. An assessment of your strengths and weaknesses will therefore be made to allow yourself to plan a work program in the short and medium term. Having a clear idea of what we will be working together, and knowing what you can do on your own is essential. ● I can also prepare the study of any area that interests you. The goal being above all that your motivation and your pleasure remain intact. ➜ For the technical aspect, I use Skype to communicate, as well as the Lichess or chesscom interface (two completely free interfaces mainly intended for playing chess online) to share an analysis chessboard. It's very easy to use, and super practical! So don't hesitate to contact me, and we can directly discuss your situation and your goals :) MY JOURNEY Now 29 years old, I had a fairly classic chess apprenticeship with my father at the age of 7. Showing more skill and interest there than judo and tailoring, I pushed open a club door, and it never closed. I progressed throughout my youth, helped by successive coaches, International Masters or Grand Masters, until I became so in turn Chess coach for over 10 years. I decided to professionalize myself at the age of 24, once my studies were finished and my title of Grand Master reached. I am also coach of the young French teams, and preparer of the adult French team for several years. Also a writer, I have published two opening books (The Modernized Reti, and The Modernized Dutch, at Thinker's Publishing). I regularly do video series for Chess24, of which I leave you an extract! Despite my player soul which means that I will never stop, teaching has taken precedence over my practice of chess, and it is a choice that I do not really regret, as the progress of my students can be a source of pleasure and satisfaction.

Trusted teacher: ➤ Do you often wonder why it's so challenging to make progress in chess? ★ It's because information is scattered and harder to access than it seems: you're scattered all over the place. ★ Taking private lessons will save you a lot of time because I know effective methods for progress. ★ You're probably watching entertaining but less instructive videos on the internet and playing at fast time controls without mastering the basics. Don't waste any more time; sign up now for effective lessons that will help you improve. ★ I want to reassure beginners who may feel a bit "ashamed" of their level that most of my lessons are actually designed for beginners! For the lessons to be effective, you should take at least 1 hour of lessons per week. ★ Together, we will work on the fundamental principles of chess, refine your tactical and strategic skills, and develop a strong opening repertoire. ★ Whether you're a competitive player, an amateur looking to beat your friends, or just curious to explore the intricacies of chess, these lessons are designed for you. ➤ Lesson Structure: ★ I use Google Meets: I'll send you an internet link, which you simply need to click on. So, you only need a computer, an internet connection, a microphone, and you're all set for remote lessons. ★ Initial lessons: We will start by analyzing your recent games so I can assess your level, strengths, and weaknesses. This will help us determine a training plan together, taking into account your ambition and the time you can dedicate to it. ★ Beginner children: The primary goal is to have fun at any age. I play with them to teach them to think while they play and develop good habits. This helps them improve their concentration (useful at their age, especially in school). In addition, we cover anticipating opponents' moves and visualizing the board a few moves ahead. A few simple exercises for regular practice and reinforcement, and they're hooked and can't get enough :) ➤ Feel free to contact me for more information on the methodology and course program. Together, we will turn you into a complete and competitive chess player.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, remember that seeking coaching is a great step forward! It’s perfectly okay to ask for help on your chess journey. Hello! My name is Mihailo, I am 22 years old coach from Serbia. I offer specialized and personalized training, regardless of age, for chess lovers who want to develop mentally or perform. Teaching Experience "I have taught chess for four years and have successfully helped my students improve. For example, one of my best students, Efi Rosenborg, went from a 1500 rating to almost 2100 in just 6 months of working with me. I have also worked with several players from the US and some have even won over-the-board tournaments in the USCF rating system. I feel immense pride and joy in seeing my students make remarkable progress! First Lesson: This is a test lesson, the key thing is to realize at what exactly in chess you are good, at what best, but also what are the things which are not going in the right way , I am here to help! 10 Lessons: As a professional coach, this gives me space to focus on students in a deeper way. Here is what can you expect from me after purchasing 10 lessons: 1. Lessons that are covered by additional homework, for example right after the lesson 2. Whenever you need help after lessons related to your game, position, tournament preparation, and overall questions, you can ask a message. 3. The student should not be shy and open to asking or recommending something where he feels he needs help. Coaching is successful when both sides have good communication. -How 10 lessons can look like: (Of course this can change based on needs of student) 1.Opening theory: (Reti, Sicilian Defence, French Defence, Kings Indian, Differe1nt gambits, depending on your style of playing with strategy and tactical ideas) 2. Tactics: All checkmate motives are separated based on levels, specifical puzzles for your level 3. Principles in endgames: (King activity, why is it important? Key focus for specific once, Rook and Queen endgames, general principles) 4. Middlegame: From basic to advanced strategy, motives covered in games 5. Analyzing games and fixing mistakes (Showing you what should you play, Psychological factors, time control, personal advice/experience) 6. Identifying students' style of playing ( Positional or aggressive), and helping them find opening repertoire based on that. 7. Endgames technique ( Specific endgames explained and more seriously studied to increase your endgame knowledge and success. 8.

Fantastic teacher, my son had an amazing time and learned so much after only first hour! He was telling me enthusiastically all about boxing techniques after (as a 13 year old it’s his first chess lesson) and he can’t wait for next time!
