Chess lessons for beginners, discovering the game or learning tactics

From 23.2 £ /h

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 :)

Extra information

If you don't have a chess board, don't worry, let me know and I'll bring mine.

Do you want to learn the movement of the pieces and the rules of the game?
Do you want to improve your opening and midgame principles?
Want to learn more about midgame tactical and strategic patterns?

I will be delighted to discuss these different themes with you, keeping in mind that chess remains a game in which we must maintain a notion of pleasure.

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.
