I am a fairly active competitive chess player, rated 1750 FIDE, who wants to introduce this game to all types of beginners and intermediate players.

I adapt to any route:
- That you have never touched a chess set in your life,
- That you only know the rules and want to get deeper into the game,
- That you have started an apprenticeship and that you want to progress further

My lessons aim to teach you the basics of chess, a mentality and playing reflexes, which will allow you to progress more easily than if you stayed alone in your corner.
Each part that we can do together will be analyzed so that you understand your mistakes and weaknesses, in order to correct them.

If you have any questions, contact me, I will be happy to answer you :)

Have you always wanted to learn how to play chess?

Chess isn't just a game of thought and strategy; it's a powerful metaphor for life. 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.

Younes, 33 years old, certified coach and instructor of the FFE (French Chess Federation).
Titled Candidate Master of the FIDE.

The courses I offer allow you to work on new concepts of the game of chess in order to improve your understanding of the game.

I guide you and help you find the best moves in various situations. We correct everything as we go, and the work is saved so you can consult it whenever you want!

I would also give you lessons to better master each phase of the game (opening, middle game, endgame).
A series of varied and useful exercises to work on between sessions. Good humor and a friendly atmosphere guaranteed!

🎮 GAME DESIGN COURSES — PERSONALIZED GUIDANCE

As a professional Game Designer in the video game industry for over 2 years and holding a Master's degree in Game Design, I offer courses and personalized support, tailored to your level and objectives.

I have worked on a variety of projects, from creating Minecraft servers at RIVRS to designing a competitive TCG at Feerik Games, as well as on different projects with diverse genres, universes and mechanics.


🎮 WHAT WE CAN WORK ON

The courses (in French or English) may cover topics such as:

• Design of game mechanics and systems
• Game Loop and Core Gameplay
• Balancing and progression
• Gameplay analysis
• Level Design
• Player feedback and experience
• Writing Game Design Documents (GDD)
• Prototyping and iteration
• Analysis of existing games
• Design and improvement of your own project

The goal is to provide you with concrete methods used in production, while working directly on your needs and projects.


🚀 PROJECT SUPPORT

Do you have a game idea but don't know how to develop it?

We can start with your concept and work progressively on:

→ the idea and vision of the game
→ the main mechanics
→ the gameplay loop
→ systems and progression
→ balancing
→ Analysis of the problems encountered
→ testing and iteration

The sessions can therefore be fully adapted to your personal project.

No programming is required: the courses are focused on the design, analysis, and understanding of gaming experiences.


💼 PREPARATION FOR VIDEO GAME CAREERS

I also offer support for people wishing to become professionals:

• Creation and improvement of CVs
• Portfolio creation or optimization
• Presentation and analysis of your projects
• Advice on presenting your skills
• Preparation for applications in the video game industry


👤 FOR WHOM?

The courses are aimed particularly at:

• Creators developing their own game
• People wishing to build a portfolio
• Future professionals wishing to prepare for entering the industry

Whatever your level, we start from your knowledge and your objectives to build a tailored support program.


🗓️ FIRST SESSION

A 30-minute introductory session is offered to get to know each other, define your objectives and present to you in concrete terms my approach to Game Design.


📩 Feel free to contact me, indicating your level, your objectives and, if you have one, the game project you wish to work on.
