Hi everyone, I’m an active player & a coach with a peak rating of 2260 FIDE Classical, having represented my country in a world youth chess olympiad besides having won national youth chess championships. My students have achieved 2100+ Fide rating. Now, I’m accepting new students.
My structured, practical, tournament oriented coaching focuses on:
- Pawn structures (arising from different openings) & typical plans (piece exchange, typical pawn break & piece manoeuvres etc.)
- Strategy (General must-know & specialized for openings and it's middlegames)
- Positional play & imbalances (piece activity, weak squares, coordination)
- Thinking processes
- Calculation principles
- Practical Endgames
- Tournament skills (time management, psychology, practical play)
The aim is to build strong understanding so one can approach tournament appropriate opening repertoire based on a mix of ideas and theory rather than solely memorising variations.
Some of my recent student results:
- 1900 → 2100+ FIDE
- 1200 → 1800 FIDE
- 1700 → 2000+ FIDE
- Unrated → 1700+ FIDE as their initial rating
My personalised 1:1 sessions will offer:
- Finding out the weakness (after extensively analysing the student's tournament games)
- Game analysis & feedback
- Training materials and homework exercises (PGNs, books, videos)
- Sharing theoretical insights, building a suiting opening repertoire
Session details:
- 1:1 online sessions (Google Meet)
- 25 euro's per hour
- Fluent in English and Dutch
- Time zone: CEST (UTC+2)
