About Vlad's Chess Coaching

I fell in love with the game of chess during my teenage years. Despite starting quite late by modern standards, I have managed to steadily climb the rating ladder and made a transition to full-time chess coaching work after the pandemic. When I am not coaching, I play, arbiter, and provide coverage for events with a keen eye for detail.

In 2022, I obtained my FIDE National Instructor title. Nowadays, I am working towards the FIDE Arbiter title. My specialty remains offering tailored lessons for adult improvers, however, so let's elevate your chess game together! My best students have gone on to achieve FIDE titles, such as WCM. I can teach you how to become a more confident and rational attacker, while also providing a robust opening repertoire that stands the test of time.

Chess Journey

Tailored Coaching Experience

With excellent English skills, I focus on helping busy adults improve their chess skills efficiently, ensuring an effective learning experience. Lessons feel light-hearted and personal, as I strive to take a keen interest in my students' life outside of chess and provide mentorship and advice. I am not just teaching you about chess, but I bring balance to the way you approach it!
