Hi, my name is Gabriel. I'm the head coach of the chess team of the National University of Mexico (UNAM) since 2010. I speak fluent English as I lived six years in Oxford, England, when I was a child and I practice it since then.

With the UNAM's team I have obtained the following titles:
National Women's Championship: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
National Men's Championship: 2018, 2019
Absolute National Championship: 2018, 2019
Panamerican 2013 in Durango: silver medal

I also have extensive experience with players of all ages and levels. Here is a list of the places where I have worked:
- UNAM's Children's Chess Program since 2012.
- Private schools.
- CEDAT School for gifted children.
- Private sports and social clubs.
- Homeschoolers
- Personal chess coach since 2005.

My peak rating is 2165 FIDE ELO, which would be equivalent to the USCF National Master level, although really my chess dedication has been focused on teaching.
I would love to help you learn chess or improve your game to reach competitive levels. It does not matter your degree of experience, your level of play, or your age.

I am attentive to any questions you may have.
Greeting and I wish you success!

Hi!

As a chess teacher of 14 years, and as a player of 32 years, I love to impart the things I have learned about chess and be able to help people reach their goals. I’m very passionate about chess and feel it be a wonderful activity, not only fun, but to help develop creativity, patience, concentration, find friendships, and personal growth.

In our lessons we will go over the fundamentals of the game, with focus on middlegame typical positions and endgame, with a particular emphasis on the games you play between lessons. Openings will be suggested in line with your current strength and those which will provide the chance to obtain your best results.

Improve your chess through a structured training programme built around your own games, goals and recurring mistakes.

I work with ambitious juniors and adult players from beginner level to approximately 1900 online. Lessons can cover game analysis, calculation, candidate-move selection, tactical awareness, positional understanding, practical endgames, opening structures, time management and tournament preparation.

Each lesson combines clear explanations with practical exercises. After the lesson, you receive annotated study material, targeted homework and a specific training objective for the following week.

For junior students, I can also provide parents with regular written progress updates. Before the first lesson, please send me your current rating and two recent games so that I can prepare an individual assessment.

Lessons are conducted online in English.

I am a competitive chess player and experienced coach with a Chess.com rating of around 2600 in Blitz and Bullet and a German national rating, DWZ, of approximately 2100.

I have almost two years of paid coaching experience. I have taught private students and worked in school chess, coaching children, teenagers and adults at different levels. Before moving to Germany, I maintained a regular private coaching practice in Ukraine.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, which has shaped my analytical and structured teaching approach. I focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind their decisions rather than memorising moves without context.

My feedback is calm, direct and adapted to the student’s level, goals and available training time. I teach in English and also speak Ukrainian, Russian and intermediate German. I am currently based in Germany and work with students internationally online.

I am an active FIDE chess player with many years of over-the-board tournament experience. Most of my chess journey has been self-taught, so I understand how difficult it can be to identify what is holding your chess back and find an effective way to improve.

My lessons are adapted to your level, goals and playing style. We can focus on analysing your games, calculation and tactics, positional understanding, openings and typical plans, practical decision-making, or building an effective training routine.

My goal is not simply to show you engine moves, but to help you understand why moves work and teach you how to think independently during your games.

Lessons are suitable for beginners, intermediate players and ambitious club players who want to improve their chess in a structured and practical way.
