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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"monthly-coaching--1-lesson-per-week--200\">Monthly Coaching \u2013 1 Lesson per Week \u2013 200$<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Monthly Coaching with 1 lesson per week is designed for players who want steady, structured improvement without overloading their schedule. You get four 60\u2011minute lessons per month plus permanent coaching between sessions, so you can send games, positions and questions anytime and receive feedback instead of waiting until the next class. Throughout the month we build and update your personal opening repertoire, work on typical middlegame positions from your own games and track your progress with a clear plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intensive-coaching--2-lessons-per-week--400\">Intensive Coaching \u2013 2 Lessons per Week \u2013 400$<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2011minute sessions per month we can go much deeper into your openings, calculation and endgames, while also reviewing your latest games in detail.

Well\u2011structured 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\u2011the\u2011board tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"online-chess-lessons-with-an-international-master\">Online Chess Lessons with an International Master<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Online chess lessons with an International Master combine top\u2011level 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\u2011making, and tactics work together to create consistent performance, not just isolated good games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"focus-on-opening-repertoires-and-practical-play\">Focus on Opening Repertoires and Practical Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I help students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose opening families that match their strengths (sharp, strategic, dynamic or solid).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn key ideas, move orders and typical tactics rather than just memorizing engine lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare reliable repertoires for both online games and classical OTB tournaments, including surprise weapons against common systems.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.guillembaches.com\/chess\/best-chess-training-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every month, repertoires are updated based on new games, recent trends and the student\u2019s practical results, so they always know what to play and how to respond to the most frequent lines they see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/guillembaches\/\">Get new studies and training ideas on my Telegram channel.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chess-lessons-in-multiple-languages\">Chess Lessons in Multiple Languages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2011term title goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-these-chess-lessons-are-for\">Who These Chess Lessons Are For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These chess lessons are designed for serious students at&nbsp;<strong>all rating levels<\/strong>, from motivated beginners to titled players, as long as they are ready to work with a clear plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are especially suitable for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ambitious club players who want to break through rating plateaus and start beating stronger opposition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Juniors and young adults with clear goals like CM, FM, IM, GM, WIM or WGM who need professional guidance and tournament\u2011oriented preparation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adult improvers committed to structured training who want to stop \u201cplaying random openings\u201d and instead follow a coherent repertoire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Active tournament players who need concrete preparation against likely opponents and typical structures in their usual events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MY BEST GAMES OF CHESS #1 by IM Guillermo Baches\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I8r8FFVWjDs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-a-typical-chess-lesson-works\">How a Typical Chess Lesson Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each lesson is built around your current needs and recent games, but follows a clear structure so every session moves you forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical lesson may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brief review of your latest online or OTB games to detect recurring mistakes and missed opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focused work on a key opening line from your repertoire, including move orders, plans and critical tactical motifs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practical exercises in calculation and tactics taken from your own positions or from model games in your chosen systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear homework and study tasks for the week (playing targets, tactics volume, specific opening lines to review).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, this creates a feedback loop where each new game becomes material for improvement, and your repertoire evolves with your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/guillembaches\/\">Follow my daily chess insights and lesson updates on X.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools-used-in-your-chess-lessons\">Tools Used in Your Chess Lessons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your coaching uses the same platforms and tools recommended in your articles about online chess and training programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lichess.org\/study\/eczYRziO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lichess<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Chess.com<\/strong>&nbsp;for playing, sharing games and using interactive boards during lessons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training programs like Chess.com\u2019s tactics trainer, Chessable\u2011style repetition, and other software to build daily habits in calculation and pattern recognition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Students receive studies, opening files and exercises they can access anytime, so there is always something concrete to work on between live sessions.
