Other experiences
Professional Opening Research: I specialize in building professional-grade opening repertoires using advanced engine analysis (Stockfish 17, Lc0) and cloud-based databases. I stay updated with the latest theoretical trends from elite tournaments.
Chess Software Expert: I am a power user of ChessBase and other analytical tools. I can teach my students how to effectively organize their own databases, manage their preparation, and use engines to find "human" ideas rather than just engine evaluations.
Match Scouting and Preparation: I have extensive experience in scouting opponents—analyzing their psychological patterns, opening preferences, and typical mistakes to build a winning match strategy.
Tournament Mentorship: Beyond technical coaching, I provide guidance on tournament practicalities: time management, emotional control after a loss, and maintaining peak physical and mental energy during long events.
Systematic Training Methodology: I focus on creating a sustainable training routine. My goal is to teach you how to work on chess independently so that you continue to improve even outside of our lessons.
