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!

★ Face-to-face courses

★ Video lessons

★ Mini-group lessons:

Do you often wonder why you can't progress?

Because you are looking left and right for information, advice and books to read but you are getting scattered.

You constantly watch chess videos on the Internet which are entertaining but it is too passive an activity which does not really make you study chess in depth.

Then you will play online games at too fast a pace while you do not master the general principles.

In fact, you have developed bad reflexes because you keep repeating the same mistakes without even realizing it, which is why your level quickly stagnates.

When you analyze your games, click on the 20th move and you will realize that often your game is already badly engaged. You often manage your time badly, you play too fast when it is important to choose the right voice and you hesitate too long in positions where the moves are obvious.

Then, you make a game report which tells you that you played with 80% accuracy but nevertheless you lost and you do not necessarily understand the main reasons.

And finally, you watch the game with an analysis module which offers you good moves but does not provide you with the explanations necessary to fully understand them.

Some teachers also offer group lessons with a monthly subscription which can help you progress slightly, but what you need is a truly personalized lesson.

Taking private lessons will save you a lot of time because I know the methods that work to progress and quickly be more competitive. I will teach you the essential concepts to master to better understand chess overall and I can recommend interesting books to study alongside classes.

I have always liked to pass on my knowledge to my students so that they can give the best of themselves. This is why, over the years, I have improved my teaching techniques and I have created a real training program in order to best help my students unlock their potential.

It is important to understand that good progress is a subtle balance between playing and studying.

Whether you want to compete for fun or to win titles, whether you want to beat your friends or simply discover the complexity of the game of chess: this announcement is made for you!

★ I would like to reassure “beginners” who are sometimes a little “ashamed” of their level by telling them that I have many beginner students!

★ Recent examples:

➤ September 2018, a 16-year-old student takes 1.5 hours of lessons per week to improve in competition. It goes from 1650 to 2000 in around fifteen hours of lessons!

➤ November 2019, I have 2 new students (29 and 30 years old) who are 1200 on Chesscom. One decides to take 3 hours of lessons per week and the other 4 hours. 1 year later, there are 2000 of them on the same site!

➤ September 2021, a 35-year-old student returns to chess competitions after a 20-year hiatus. With 1 hour of lessons per week, it goes from 1350 to 1650 after only 10 hours of lessons!

➤ September 2021, a 23-year-old student decides to take 3 hours of lessons per week at 1600 on Chesscom. After a year of lessons he reached 2380 in 15 minute games!

➤ July 2022, a 30-year-old student decides to take 2 hours of lessons per week, he is then 800 on Chesscom. Barely 6 months later, it is 1450 on the same site!

➤ December 2023, one of my young students went from 1600 to 2000 FIDE elo in 2 years of lessons and became Paris Champion in his age category!

➤ May 2024, a 26-year-old unranked student takes lessons regularly. 1 year later, he joins FIDE with a first rating > 1950!

★ If you still have hesitations, I have more than 200 reviews left by my students at the bottom of the ad. You can read some of them, this will allow you to get a better idea of the quality of the courses and the good atmosphere that reigns there.

In order for the lessons to be effective, the secret is regularity, that is to say doing at least 1 hour of lessons per week.

★ ★ Mini group lessons (2 to 3 people):

➤ If you don't want to take lessons alone because you've never taken one.

➤ If you want to work on common themes with your friends who have a similar level to yours.

➤ If you want your teenagers to do something more interesting than spending their days in front of their tablets.

➤ Or if you simply want quality courses at a preferential price.

This offer might interest you!

★ ★ Individual lessons for adults and experienced children: I offer quality lessons with a real methodology!

★ Progress of the first lessons:

Whether you're competing or playing online, we'll analyze your games over a few sessions. This will allow me to assess your knowledge, thought process, strengths and typical mistakes in order to together define a training program for the upcoming sessions.

For this program to be viable I will take into account your level, your ambitions but also the time you can devote to playing and studying.

★ And for the following courses:

➤ A complete and effective repertoire of openings (created with the latest software), adapted to your style and your level.

Examples: London System, Viennese, Scottish, Tarrash, Sicilian c3, Alekhine, Modern, Philidor, Scandinavian, Caro-Kann, Slavic, East Indian Defense, Petrov...

This repertoire is not based on opening traps but on understanding each move played. This will allow you to play good moves without learning tons of variations by heart!

We will study the openings together in a practical order according to what you are played the most. My goal is not to make you learn tons of lines that you are never played!

I would like to point out that the lines have been worked on very seriously, so you will be able to play them throughout your progression. You will therefore not spend your life re-studying the openings by buying books or online databases, which will save you a lot of time and money!

I would like to point out that I show absolutely everything I know!

➤ A multitude of tactical exercises to be able to take a decisive advantage during your games. I will also teach you methods to optimize your calculations!

➤ The study of elementary checkmates and essential endgames in order to master endgames.

➤ Learn to build a plan in the middle of the game through the study of the games of world champions and their contemporaries.

The goal is to show you a multitude of different patterns so that you have sufficient chess knowledge to be able to play all types of positions well. You will thus develop automatisms and a certain sense of the game which will help you in your games!

This whole methodology aims to make you a complete player.

★★ Courses for beginner children (from 5 years old):

I have a lot of students between 5 and 14 years old who are beginners, it's really an audience I'm used to working with!

It is essential that children have fun, which is why my approach is above all fun!

Each child is different, I always adapt my teaching according to their age, their desires and their level.

I play with them to teach them to think while they play. Chess works a lot on concentration and patience, which is good for school. I teach them to understand the opponent's moves so they can counter them.

I make them a small repertoire of openings and I teach them the typical traps of their favorite openings.

For the rest, I give them simple exercises to start with, then I progress at the student's pace so that they learn the different rules and techniques while having fun!

My lessons boil down to this: good humor and efficiency!

★ Video lessons:

I will send you a Google Meet link in your inbox; this platform will be used to communicate and share my screen.

I have a good quality webcam and a Razer Seiren Mini microphone which are perfect for good transcription of lessons. You will see that video lessons are just as effective as home lessons!

I download your played games from the Internet and then we analyze them via ChessBase.

Thanks to this software, I have access to all my lessons, so I can present classic games to you as well as openings that I have already analyzed beforehand.

I can also show plans using colored arrows, highlight threats, important squares to control or show a weakened pawn structure.

It also contains a database of 12 million games which I use to illustrate my explanations with famous games.

We will also do educational games: I will watch you play and comment on your thought process live, I will also ask you questions that will make you think about specific points. The goal is not to guide you so that you win games but rather to improve your way of thinking.

At the end of each lesson, I send my lessons by email so that you can review the points worked together!

★ Hours:

- Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

★ Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions as I usually respond within the hour. We can therefore arrange a first lesson quickly.

See you soon !

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Chess is easy to learn and a lifetime to master- let's skip ahead. Whether you've never moved a pawn or you're chasing your next rating jump, these lessons sharpen the way you think, not just the way you play.

We'll work on the tactics that win games, the patterns grandmasters see instantly, and the quiet positional ideas that decide the rest. Your games become the textbook — every loss is a lesson, every win a clue.

Online or in person. Bring a board, or just your curiosity.

I've been playing chess since I was 9 years old, and it's been a part of my life ever since. I currently have a FIDE rating of 2150 and continue to compete actively.

Besides being a player, I am an engineer with a scientific background, which allows me to teach chess from a logical and structured perspective.

I especially enjoy helping other players understand the "why" behind each decision on the board, not just the "what".

Hello everyone!

I am International Master Sanket Chakravarty, and I offer both training sessions and practice sessions for serious chess players looking to improve their game.

Teaching Methodology:

Step 1: Assessment

Before starting, I will ask you to send games from your last three tournaments.

During the first two classes, I will:

Analyze your games in detail
Identify recurring mistakes and weaknesses
Evaluate your strengths, style, and thought process
Create a personalized improvement plan

Step 2: Structured Improvement

Once the key weaknesses have been identified, future classes will focus on:

Positional understanding
Calculation and visualization
Decision-making
Middlegame planning
Practical tournament skills
Endgame fundamentals and technique

Step 3: Homework & Training

Students will receive carefully selected homework assignments designed to reinforce the concepts discussed during lessons.

The goal is not only to learn principles but also to apply them independently.

Step 4: Opening Preparation

I will provide opening files and repertoire guidance whenever necessary. However, I believe openings should support overall chess understanding rather than dominate training time.

For most students, improving calculation, strategic understanding, and practical decision-making yields much greater long-term results than memorizing opening variations.

Some of my achievements include:
1. Norway Open Blitz 2025 – Champion
2. 44th Indian National Team Chess Championship 2025 – Silver Medal
3. Asian Club Chess Champions League – Team Bronze Medal, Individual Silver Medal (Board 5)
4. 18th Plancoët International Open 2025 – Joint Champion (Runner-up on tiebreaks)
5. 2nd Orchies International Chess 2026 - Champion

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering at Jadavpur University.

Outside chess, I enjoy travelling, exploring new countries, and experiencing different cultures and adventures.
