My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments.
For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian.
Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence.

Some figures to know me better:
• 10 years of experience in teaching chess
• 20 years of experience in club and competition
• Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms
• More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing.

My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes:

1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames.
2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises.
3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games.

My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

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!

Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.

The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.

Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.

I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

Practical Chess Mastery for Beginners & Intermediates

♟️ Course Overview
Are you stuck in the 800–1200 rating range? Do you find yourself winning a great position only to blunder it away in the endgame? This course is designed to bridge the gap between "moving the pieces" and playing real chess.

Led by Andrei Daniel, an active competitive player in the Romanian chess circuit, this course focuses on the practical skills you need to stop losing to yourself and start beating your opponents. Unlike courses by Super GMs that focus on complex theory you’ll never use, we focus on the 1600-level fundamentals that actually decide games at the club level.

👨‍🏫 About Your Instructor
Andrei Daniel is not just an online player; he is a battle-tested tournament competitor.

Arena FIDE Master (AFM): Officially recognized title by the World Chess Federation.

Active Club Player: Regular competitor in Romanian national leagues and tournaments.

Practical Experience: With a playing strength of ~2300, Andrei specializes in the exact transition phase where most players get stuck: moving from beginner intuition to intermediate calculation.

🚀 What You Will Learn
This course is divided into two tracks depending on your current level:

Track 1: The Foundation (Rating 400 – 1000)
Stop the Bleeding: How to perform a "Blunder Check" before every move.

Opening Principles > Memorization: Why controlling the center matters more than memorizing 15 moves of theory.

Tactical Vision: Spotting the forks, pins, and skewers that win games instantly.

The "Checkmate Pattern" Library: Essential mating nets every beginner must know.

Track 2: The Club Player (Rating 1000 – 1500)
Thinking Like a Tournament Player: How to calculate variations without getting confused.

Positional Squeeze: Creating long-term weaknesses in your opponent's camp when there are no immediate tactics.

Endgame Essentials: King activity, opposition, and how to convert a pawn-up advantage into a win.

Opening Repertoire: Building a solid, low-maintenance opening set for White and Black (e.g., London System, Caro-Kann, or similar solid structures).

💡 Why This Course?
Real-Game Analysis: We won't just study famous games from the 1800s. We will analyze your games to find your specific bad habits.

Psychology of Chess: Learn how to handle time pressure and recover from a bad loss.

Direct Feedback: Get personalized advice from a coach who plays competitively in the modern era.

🎓 Who Is This For?
Beginners who know the rules but don't have a plan.

Online Players (Chess.com/Lichess) who want to cross the 1200 or 1500 Elo barrier.

Adult Improvers looking for a structured, no-nonsense approach to learning.

My approach is founded on a simple principle: interest + understanding = confidence. I avoid burdening children with dry theory. Instead, through games, puzzles, and engaging tasks, I reveal how the minds of great chess players operate. We analyze games like detective stories, where every move is a clue to be deciphered.

Why do parents entrust me with their children?

🧠 I develop thinking, not just teach rules. Your child will learn to analyze situations, anticipate consequences, and make deliberate decisions—both in the game and in life.

👧 I am committed to every child. I successfully engage with students as young as four, understanding how to maintain a preschooler's focus and how to intellectually challenge a teenager.

📈 I create an individual learning path for each student. I begin by understanding your child's character and goals, then build a tailored program that fits them precisely.

🏆 I take pride in my students' achievements. It is important to me that a child not only understands chess but also experiences the thrill of their first victories—whether in a tournament or simply in solving a difficult puzzle.

My primary goal is to see your child's eyes light up after every lesson, with new ideas sparking in their mind.

Let's get acquainted! Sign up for the lessons to see this approach in action.

Chess coaching from a top 1% player. 1700 rated on chess.com. New to chess, this is the class for you! With a patient and student led focus, I aim to inspire you to be passionate about chess and understand the underlying principles behind why top players make the moves they make. With quite a positional and methodical approach to the game I teach in a principled way. Often called ‘Russian school boy’ the style I try to emulate is that of Karpov, who frustrates his opponents with unending rigour, like a boa constrictor squeezing his opponent’s position.
