Private Coaching, Live at the Board
Private coaching here is not a video course. It is you and an Expert-level player on a live video call, playing on the same board, with every move analyzed the moment your finger leaves the piece. Sessions are one to one. Book a single hour or a pack of four; the first one shows you which habits are costing you rating points.
Your Coach
An Expert-level competitive player: over a decade at the board, and 6+ years coaching players privately, from first-move beginners to tournament competitors. His specialty is meeting you exactly where your game is today: he watches how you actually play, finds the habits holding your rating hostage, and rebuilds them move by move.
How a Session Works
1 · Connect
You get a private video link. Face to face, board between you, from anywhere in the world.
2 · Play Live
You play real games on the Grandmaster Gains board while your coach watches every decision in real time.
3 · Level Up
Instant feedback the moment it matters: why a move works, what you missed, and the pattern to hunt next time. You leave every session measurably sharper.
What You'll Sharpen
Openings that fit YOUR style, not memorized lines you'll forget. Tactical vision that spots the fork before it exists. Endgame technique that converts winning positions instead of stumbling into draws. Time management, blunder-proofing, and the mental game of playing under a ticking clock.
Who It's For
Beginners who want to learn it right the first time. Casual players tired of the same rating plateau. Kids and teens building a lifetime skill, with parents welcome on the call. Club players preparing for tournaments. If you can click a link, you can be coached.
