I will train your chess tactics and positional thinking


About this gig
Rated ~1800 and working toward a master title, with 150+ paid lessons given. But this isn't a game-review gig - any chess engine already does that better than a human can.
What engines can't do is teach you how to think. Most players don't lose games to bad openings; they lose to tactical blind spots and poor positional judgment. That's what this is built around: identifying your specific patterns and training the decision-making behind them.
What you'll get:
- Analysis pulled from your real games, not generic puzzles
- Explained conceptually the "why," not just engine notation
- A focus on the actual skill gaps costing you rating points

FAQ
Do you review live games or do I need to submit past games?
This is fully async — submit your recent games (PGN or a link to your account) and I'll work from those.
What rating level is this good for?
Most useful for players who already know the rules and basic tactics but want to close specific gaps — roughly 800+ rating.
Can we do a live coaching call instead?
Not typically offered — all coaching here is delivered async via video/written breakdown. If you believe you'll only benefit from live coaching, reach out and we can discuss.
