I love participating in different international events around the world. So far I’ve played chess in such foreign countries like Czech Republic (14 classical tournaments), Italy (4), Austria (4), Hungary (4), Croatia (4), Greece (3), Spain (3), France (3), Slovakia(2), Montenegro, Germany, Ukraine, Romania, England, Russia, Macedonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Serbia and Portugal. I hope I will visit much more in the future!

I've been self coaching myself since year 2005 when my rating was around 2000 and I managed to cross 2300 barrier in 3 years. At that time I've started giving some lessons for other players and help them to make progress as well.

I stream for lichess from time to time on my channel www.twitch.tv/chessaround

I mainly focus on game analysis and opening preparation (including lots of work on the structures and plans). I can also offer training games or some lessons on some strategical themes.

I conduct lessons using skype where I can share my screen with ChessBase but I can use any other programs you suggest.
