I’m a 2000-rated bilingual chess player on Chess.com with several years of experience teaching students through workshops and leading my high-school chess club.
Chess isn’t just a game. It is a way to train your mind to anticipate, take risk and stay calm under pressure. There are more possible chess combinations than electrons in the universe!
In this class, you’ll learn not only how to play chess, but how to think like a chess player.
We’ll cover:
1. Opening principles and how to control the board early.
2. Mid-game pattern recognition: attacking plans and defending under pressure.
3. Endgame techniques and how to convert small advantages into wins (Chess is often won by the difference of a pawn).
4. Tips and tricks on how to manage nerves, focus, and decision-making.
As a neuroscience student, I also help players understand how the brain makes decisions improving focus and intuition.
My approach combines strategiy, pattern recognition, and emotional control.
Whether you’re a beginner who wants to understand the board, or an intermediate player aiming to level up, each lesson is structured, practical, and fun.
Quick results will be visible!!!
