🏆 I dedicated my youth to playing professional chess, achieving success by winning championships at the South American, National, and Local levels. Additionally, I had the honor of representing my country in Pan-American and World Youth Chess Championships held abroad.

👨‍🏫 After 20 years of teaching chess to a wide range of people from all ages and levels, I've distilled the essence of chess progress into three fundamental pillars: Train, Analyze, and Play. This forms the backbone of my lessons: TAP, Train, Analyze and Play. Yet, beyond this structured framework, there is a more specific element: my classes are always, always! Personalized. The content, pace, methods and training material is adapted to your skills and goals in relation to chess.

💖 Passion for Chess! (the most important thing) Method, Patience, Empathy, Tailored lessons, Adaptation to the students interest, level, and objective. Structured study plans. Lessons in English and Spanish.

✅ The lessons are challenging and entertaining, you will have to find creative solutions to different scenarios. Depending on your level and aims we will work over a vast array of subjects : Calculation, Tactics, Theoretical endgames, Positional play, Dynamics, Openings, Pawns structures, Planning, Blindfold training, Visualization, Swindles, Pattern recognition, among others.

Besides we are going to address more specific topics, to name a few: intuition versus calculation, time administration, building an opening repertoire, practical utility of artistic problems, making a good use of chess engines and databases, psychological aspects of the decision making process.
After every lesson I send homework about the content we are studying (Puzzles, Games, Videos, Books, Databases, among others)

I think that a plus of my classes is that I keep permanent contact with my students, they can ask me or comment anything about chess outside the lesson time.
My main goal as a coach is not only to help my students to improve their level but also to make them have a good time. The lesson must be full of content, entertaining and challenging at the same time. For me that is an imperative.

❗❗ Free test lesson
You can try a first 30 min lesson free of charge!

In that lesson, through a series of selected puzzles, I will test your skills and thinking process in concrete positions. Then, if you like the content and dynamic, we can build a training plan and start working on it on a regular basis.

I invite you to learn chess together!
