👑 Greetings, Aspiring Chess Champions! 👑

I am thrilled to introduce myself as your dedicated chess instructor. My name is Prashil, and I come to you with a passion for chess that has led me to victory in numerous tournaments and earned me the esteemed title of an Internationally acclaimed chess player.

With a rating hovering 2000+ and the proud privilege of representing our country on the national stage, I'm excited to guide you on a chess journey like no other.

I, too, started as a budding chess player, facing the challenges and self-doubt that often accompany learning this intricate game. I understand firsthand the difficulties you might encounter, and that's precisely why I'm here—to turn you into a chess virtuoso.

🌟What You'll Gain Under My Tutelage 🌟

🔍 Chess from the Ground Up: We'll begin with the fundamentals, ensuring everyone understands the game's basics.

🚀 From Novice to Maestro: Whether you're taking your first steps or advancing your skills, I'll guide you on chess mastery.

🧩 Mastering the Chessboard: We'll delve into chess pieces, tackle puzzles, and develop tactics that will amaze your opponents.

🏰 Opening Moves: Uncover the secrets of various chess openings and traps, setting the stage for your future victories.

🧠 Game Memory: Learn to memorize games, a skill that will elevate your gameplay to new heights.

👁️ Blindfold Chess: For truly advanced players, I'll teach you the fascinating world of blindfolded chess, a mark of true chess expertise.

🤝 Tailored Instruction: I offer one-on-one and group lessons to meet your unique needs and preferences.

🕒 Flexible Timings: I understand that life has its demands. My classes are available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, making chess excellence convenient.

Join my Chess Club today and make your move towards chess greatness. For enrollment or any class inquiries, feel free to reach out here. Your chess adventure begins here! 🌐

This class is for players who already compete: club players, rated juniors, and adults preparing for a specific tournament. If you are starting from the beginning, my other class is the better fit.

We start with your own games. You send me five or six recent ones, and in the first session I show you the pattern behind your losses - not the individual blunders, but the recurring decision that keeps costing you points. Most players are losing rating to two or three habits, and naming them is half the work.

From there we build the preparation around your calendar:

- Opening repertoire that is narrow enough to prepare properly, chosen for the tournaments you actually play.
- Opponent research before a round: what they play, where they are uncomfortable, what to steer towards.
- Middlegame plans out of your own structures, so preparation and play connect.
- Endgame technique for the positions that decide competitive games - rook endings above all.
- Calculation under time pressure, trained with a clock, because untimed exercises do not transfer.
- Time management and how to play the round after a loss.

Every game you play between lessons is analysed move by move before we next meet, and you get written homework.

About me: I am Agil Pirverdiyev, a FIDE Master and FIDE-certified trainer from Baku, Azerbaijan. Fifteen years of coaching, more than 100 students. Rating 2411 classical and 2508 rapid. Under 16 World Champion in 2011, Under 14 European Champion, team silver at the Chess Olympiad. I also hold the FIDE arbiter title, with open tournament wins in Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain.

Lessons run on Lichess or Chess.com over video, in English, Turkish or Azerbaijani. The first 30-minute meeting is free.

Packages: 5 lessons, or 10 lessons with one free - you pay for nine and we play ten.

🎯 What you can expect:
• Step-by-step lessons tailored to your skill level and learning pace

• Patient, friendly guidance for kids and adults alike

About me:
I am an Aircraft Engineer by profession and a chess enthusiast by passion. I’ve played at the national level and enjoy helping others discover and grow their love for the game. I was also the UAE (Dubai) chess champion in 2017.

Join me to learn chess from scratch, improve your tactics, and gain a deeper understanding of the game — all in a motivating, supportive environment.

📍 Location: Lessons available in Amsterdam or online
🕒 Levels: Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced

Chess is a fun game to play and it's a helpful exercise for the brain. Besides, the chess world is a place with wonderful and peculiar people. When teaching, I probably have all the answers for your questions - hopefully. My approach is rather casual; if you really want to have a drill instructor, go solve puzzles online!

IB (MYP/DP)
I guide students within the IB curriculum, from MYP up to and including the Diploma Programme, in mathematics, physics, and economics. In addition to subject matter, I pay specific attention to the IB assessment criteria, such as researching, structuring, and applying in realistic contexts, where many students struggle even though they understand the material themselves. Through my experience with students at international schools in Amsterdam, I know exactly where the IB approach differs from the regular system and how to align with it.

Math
I tutor mathematics to students who want extra support or want to improve their results. During the lessons, I explain difficult topics step by step in a clear and calm manner. We work together on understanding, exercises, and efficient solution methods so that you gain more confidence and become stronger in the subject.

Physics
Physics becomes much simpler when you understand the logic behind the formulas. During my lessons, you will learn not only how to apply theory and formulas, but above all how to solve problems in a structured way. We practice together with examples and exam questions so that you truly understand the material and are better prepared for tests and exams.

Economy
I help students clearly understand economic concepts and theories and apply them correctly. During the lessons, we work on gaining insight into themes such as supply and demand, markets, inflation, enterprises, and financial analysis. Through practical examples and exercises, economics becomes clearer and easier to apply.

To play chess
These chess lessons are suitable for beginners and advanced players who want to improve their level. You will learn important principles such as opening techniques, tactics, strategy, endgames, and positional awareness. During the lessons, we analyze games and practice practical situations so that you learn to play stronger and more confidently.

Do you want to improve your chess skills, but aren't sure how to go about it? Or do you want to strengthen your child in a fun and effective way?

I give personal chess lessons to beginners, juniors, and advanced players. With a KNSB rating of approximately 2100 and chess experience since the age of 6, I help students not only to find better moves, but above all to understand why a move is right or wrong.

A higher rating does not automatically mean that someone is the best coach for every level. Especially for players between approximately 1000 and 1900, I find it important to explain chess ideas clearly, understandably, and practically. My goal is for you to be able to actually apply the knowledge you have learned independently during your own games.

During the lessons, we can work on, among other things:

- Tactics and combinations
- Developing strategies and plans
- Openings and typical middlegame ideas
- Party analyses
- Identifying errors and areas for improvement
- Learning to think and make decisions independently

The lessons are fully tailored to your level and personal goals. Whether you are just starting out, want to improve as a club player, or are serious about growing towards 1800/2000: together we will look at what you need to take the next step.

The lessons can be given online or at your home.

Feel free to contact me to discuss exactly what you would like to improve.
