Ignacio - York, United Kingdom£26

£26Online chess lessons for beginner and intermediate level. Learn the basics and improve quickly!

Trusted teacher: It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about this subject and you want to get into it or if you already know how to play and you want to master your skills, I can help you with that! It's scientifically proven that chess helps you to develop and strengthen many aptitudes such as: efficient planning, creativity, self-criticism, discipline, logical reasoning, problem solving and concentration. That's why playing chess is so good for mental health or children and adults. But also, and even more important, it's fun!! I've been playing chess since I was 5 years old, competing at an international level and being awarded many times. I've also given chess lessons since I was 15 until now, when I'm 25. With my classes, you'll learn all the strategies and tactics while focusing in the three parts of a chess game: the opening, the middle game and the endgame. Webcam classes are totally feasible for chess both for adults and kids! Thankfully Covid isn't a problem for learning chess. In fact, one of my young students reached the 2020 Under 8 Terefinal of the UK Chess Challenge after only a year of classes!

Alexis - Berlin, Germany£23

£23Chess lessons for all levels, from opening to final

Trusted teacher: No matter whether you have just discovered chess for yourself or have been familiar with the game for some time and want to acquire some theory, I'll help you! My lessons include all the basics of chess, as well as tactical exercises and openings. Above all, however, I orient myself towards the student, because fun and interest are the most important things in my class. We analyze games together and learn how the positional game works or practice openings and tactical motifs, depending on the level. I am a 20 year old student who has been playing chess with a passion for 7 years. I don't have an official FIDE rating, but it should be ~ 2000. Classes can take place at your home or online via Zoom. Write me a message or just give me a call if you are interested. Best regards, alexis

Trusted teacher: So, I played my first game of Chess on Christmas Eve 2022, I played a few games with family members... and somehow I won them all!

I decided to set my goal at 2000 Elo on the next Christmas Eve, turns out I didnt need that much time, I had already gotten to 2000 ELO on te 13th of October, and was 2100 ELO on Christmas Eve. If you want someone who still remembers how a beginner thinks, AND has experience in fast improvement. I'd be happy to be the one to give you this knowledge.

By learning to play, you'll develop essential skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. Every move on the board is an opportunity to plan, anticipate, and react—valuable skills both on and off the board. These courses are for anyone who wants to discover or learn more about chess. Whether you're a primary school student, a university student, a professional, or a senior, it's never too late to learn. Hello, my name is Lev, I'm 19 years old and a refugee from Ukraine. I've been living in France since 2022 and have been passionate about chess since childhood. Trained according to Soviet standards, I firmly believe that chess develops essential skills for real life. I offer courses based on the book "Journey to the Kingdom of Chess" by Avérbakh You.L. and Beïlin MA, published in 1970. This book is considered one of the best for beginners from the Soviet era. It offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to chess, covering the basics while gradually introducing more advanced concepts. For intermediate players, we will study together the book series "The School of Higher Mastery" by Mark Dvoretsky. This four-book set is renowned for its in-depth and structured approach, allowing players to take their chess skills to the next level. These works cover essential aspects such as strategy, tactics, endgames, and the psychology of the game.

Ignacio

I am utterly delighted that I have met Ignacio. I have tried to learn Chess on several occasions with different instructors. For whatever reason I just haven’t been able to understand the game enough to actually enjoy it. However, within just a few lessons of working with Ignacio I have completely fallen in love with the game of chess. Ignacio has a certain skill in that he makes something quite complicated, seem very very easy. I have found that I have picked up techniques and I have a couple of simple openings that are already winning me games, and filling me full of confidence. I would strongly recommend Ignacio to anyone that wanted to learn Chess. I for one will be continually using him for a very very long time.
