Single Power Lesson – 50$
A Single Power Lesson is a one‑off 90‑minute online chess lesson focused on the topic that matters most to you right now, such as a specific opening, a critical game or a recurrent tactical/positional problem. You send a few games or questions in advance, and during the session we go straight to the point, identifying your key mistakes and showing you how to think better in similar positions. At the end you receive a brief summary and a small set of concrete training tasks so you can continue working on your own with clarity.
Monthly Coaching – 1 Lesson per Week – 200$
Monthly Coaching with 1 lesson per week is designed for players who want steady, structured improvement without overloading their schedule. You get four 60‑minute lessons per month plus permanent coaching between sessions, so you can send games, positions and questions anytime and receive feedback instead of waiting until the next class. Throughout the month we build and update your personal opening repertoire, work on typical middlegame positions from your own games and track your progress with a clear plan.
Intensive Coaching – 2 Lessons per Week – 400$
Intensive Coaching with 2 lessons per week is ideal if you want faster results, are training for tournaments or simply have more time to invest in your chess. With eight 60‑minute sessions per month we can go much deeper into your openings, calculation and endgames, while also reviewing your latest games in detail. You benefit from priority support between lessons and a complete, regularly updated opening repertoire tailored to your style, so you always know what to play and how to handle critical lines.
On‑Demand Premium Coaching – Custom
On‑Demand Premium Coaching is a fully custom service for ambitious students who need maximum flexibility, such as training camps before important events or multiple sessions per week. Together we define how many lessons you need, which areas we will focus on (openings, tournament prep, psychological work, etc.) and how we will structure communication and game review. Pricing is decided after a short free call based on your rating, goals and training volume, and includes continuous support plus complete management of your opening files and study material.

Why Serious Players Need Structured Chess Lessons
If you are serious about chess and want to systematically raise your rating, choosing the right chess lessons is one of the most effective decisions you can make. Well‑structured training with a titled coach helps you avoid years of trial and error, focus on critical positions, and build a practical opening repertoire you can trust in both online and over‑the‑board tournaments.
Modern chess is driven by strong preparation and efficient study habits, not just playing endless blitz games. Personalized chess lessons give you a clear training roadmap, concrete feedback on your games, and realistic goals such as achieving CM, FM, IM, GM, WIM or WGM titles over time.
Online Chess Lessons with an International Master
Online chess lessons with an International Master combine top‑level understanding with maximum flexibility: you can train from anywhere in the world, on your own schedule, using the same tools that strong players use every day. A titled coach understands how modern opening preparation, practical decision‑making, and tactics work together to create consistent performance, not just isolated good games.
As an International Master and experienced coach, you specialize in building opening repertoires that actually work in real games, both online and OTB. Your focus is direct and practical: serious students who want to improve all phases of the game, but with a clear emphasis on openings, active play and tactical awareness.
Focus on Opening Repertoires and Practical Play
For ambitious players, openings are not about memorizing random lines; they are about reaching positions that fit their style and give them practical chances to outplay opponents. In your chess lessons, building and refining a personal opening repertoire is a central pillar of the training.
I help students:
- Choose opening families that match their strengths (sharp, strategic, dynamic or solid).
- Learn key ideas, move orders and typical tactics rather than just memorizing engine lines.
- Prepare reliable repertoires for both online games and classical OTB tournaments, including surprise weapons against common systems.
Every month, repertoires are updated based on new games, recent trends and the student’s practical results, so they always know what to play and how to respond to the most frequent lines they see.
Chess Lessons in Multiple Languages
Your chess lessons are available in Spanish, English, Russian and Catalan, making them accessible to a global audience of ambitious players. This flexibility allows students to train in the language they think and calculate in, which is especially important when discussing complex opening ideas and subtle middlegame plans.
Because your coaching is fully online and focused on practical openings and tactics, you can work with students from any country and time zone who are serious about improvement and long‑term title goals.
Who These Chess Lessons Are For
These chess lessons are designed for serious students at all rating levels, from motivated beginners to titled players, as long as they are ready to work with a clear plan.
They are especially suitable for:
- Ambitious club players who want to break through rating plateaus and start beating stronger opposition.
- Juniors and young adults with clear goals like CM, FM, IM, GM, WIM or WGM who need professional guidance and tournament‑oriented preparation.
- Adult improvers committed to structured training who want to stop “playing random openings” and instead follow a coherent repertoire.
- Active tournament players who need concrete preparation against likely opponents and typical structures in their usual events.
How a Typical Chess Lesson Works
Each lesson is built around your current needs and recent games, but follows a clear structure so every session moves you forward.
A typical lesson may include:
- Brief review of your latest online or OTB games to detect recurring mistakes and missed opportunities.
- Focused work on a key opening line from your repertoire, including move orders, plans and critical tactical motifs.
- Practical exercises in calculation and tactics taken from your own positions or from model games in your chosen systems.
- Clear homework and study tasks for the week (playing targets, tactics volume, specific opening lines to review).
Over time, this creates a feedback loop where each new game becomes material for improvement, and your repertoire evolves with your results.
Tools Used in Your Chess Lessons
Your coaching uses the same platforms and tools recommended in your articles about online chess and training programs:
- Lichess and Chess.com for playing, sharing games and using interactive boards during lessons.
- Training programs like Chess.com’s tactics trainer, Chessable‑style repetition, and other software to build daily habits in calculation and pattern recognition.
Students receive studies, opening files and exercises they can access anytime, so there is always something concrete to work on between live sessions. This combination of live coaching plus guided self‑study is what leads to steady rating gains and stronger tournament performances.
Long‑Term Goals: From Rating Gain to Titles
These chess lessons are designed for players who do not just want “a few tips”, but a path from where they are now to where they want to be in 1–3 years. With structured training, serious students can set realistic goals such as reaching a specific rating, achieving national titles or pursuing FIDE titles like CM, FM, IM, GM, WIM or WGM.
You help students translate those long‑term goals into monthly plans and weekly tasks, aligning lesson content, opening repertoires, tournament schedules and daily training so everything pushes in the same direction. This strategic approach is what differentiates casual coaching from truly professional chess lessons.
