My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments.
For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian.
Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence.

Some figures to know me better:
• 10 years of experience in teaching chess
• 20 years of experience in club and competition
• Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms
• More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing.

My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes:

1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames.
2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises.
3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games.

My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

Hi, my name is Gabriel. I'm the head coach of the chess team of the National University of Mexico (UNAM) since 2010. I speak fluent English as I lived six years in Oxford, England, when I was a child and I practice it since then.

With the UNAM's team I have obtained the following titles:
National Women's Championship: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
National Men's Championship: 2018, 2019
Absolute National Championship: 2018, 2019
Panamerican 2013 in Durango: silver medal

I also have extensive experience with players of all ages and levels. Here is a list of the places where I have worked:
- UNAM's Children's Chess Program since 2012.
- Private schools.
- CEDAT School for gifted children.
- Private sports and social clubs.
- Homeschoolers
- Personal chess coach since 2005.

My peak rating is 2165 FIDE ELO, which would be equivalent to the USCF National Master level, although really my chess dedication has been focused on teaching.
I would love to help you learn chess or improve your game to reach competitive levels. It does not matter your degree of experience, your level of play, or your age.

I am attentive to any questions you may have.
Greeting and I wish you success!

Why choose my courses?

An International Chess Master and experienced coach, I have been teaching for over 23 years to students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to Candidate Masters.

I have delivered nearly 18,000 hours of lessons and supported hundreds of students in their progress.

My goal is not just to show you the best moves, but to teach you to better understand positions, to make better decisions, and to develop a true method of thinking.

Every player is different: therefore I build a personalized training program based on your level, your goals and your learning style.

Why are some players stagnating?

Many work extremely hard: videos, online games, tactical exercises, analyses with an engine...

However, their level remains stuck.

The reason is often simple: they work a lot, but without a real method, and repeat the same mistakes without even realizing it.

My role is to precisely target your weaknesses in order to help you progress faster and more effectively.

A method tailored to your profile

The first sessions allow us to analyze your games, your way of thinking, your strengths and your recurring mistakes.

We then work on the essential areas:

• Openings and game plans
• tactics and calculation
• strategy
• finals
• analysis of parts
• preparation for competitions
• Time management, self-confidence and mental preparation.

I always prioritize understanding over rote learning in order to build solid and lasting progress.

Concrete results

Some examples:

➤ A 16-year-old student went from 1650 to 2000 Elo after about fifteen hours of lessons.

➤ A 23-year-old player went from 1600 to 2380 on Chess.com in 15-minute games after a year of lessons at a rate of 3 hours per week.

➤ A young player went from 1600 to 2000 FIDE Elo in two years and became Paris Champion in his category.

➤ An unrated student achieved a first FIDE rating of over 1950 Elo after a year of work.

Of course, results always depend on each student's personal investment and consistency.

Who are the courses for?

I accompany:

• children from 5 years old
• teenagers
• adult beginners
• club players
• the competitors
• Chess.com and Lichess players wishing to take their game to the next level.

Children's classes

I have extensive experience with young players.

My approach is tailored to their age: children progress through play, exercises and educational activities, while developing concentration, logic and self-confidence, in an approach where the joy of playing remains essential.

Videoconference classes

Online courses are very effective today.

Thanks to screen sharing and digital tools, we can analyze your games, study positions and build a truly personalized training program.

After each session, I will send you the important elements covered so that you can continue your training.

They trusted me

These testimonials reflect the quality of the courses, the progress made, and the working atmosphere I wish to establish with each student.

Your progress starts today

Choosing a teacher is not just about choosing a level of play.
It means choosing a method, a teaching approach, and support that will allow you to make lasting progress.

Feel free to contact me. I usually reply very quickly and we can arrange an initial session as soon as possible.

This is already the first step in your progress.

Passionate about chess since childhood and a teacher by profession, I offer online courses aimed primarily at beginner and intermediate players who wish to progress in a structured way while retaining the pleasure of playing.

My goal is not simply to teach you moves or openings to memorize. My main aim is to help you understand why a move is good, how to construct a plan, and how to identify tactical possibilities on the chessboard.

The courses are tailored to your level, age and goals.

Depending on your needs, we can work:
- the rules of the game and the fundamental principles;
- the development of the pieces and the principles of opening;
- tactics: forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, typical checkmates;
- the strategy and the construction of a plan;
- the middle of the game;
- the essential finals;
- the calculation of variants;
- time management;
- the analysis of your own games.

An important part of my method involves analyzing the games you've played with you. Together, we look for key moments, mistakes, missed opportunities, and the best alternatives.

For beginners, we progress gradually in order to build good habits from the very first games.

For intermediate players, we can work more specifically on their weaknesses, delve deeper into certain tactical or strategic themes, and analyze their games in detail.

The lessons are interactive: you play, you think, you suggest moves and we analyze the positions together.

Children, teenagers and adults are welcome.

*Goal: To understand artificial intelligence without fear, use it to simplify life, and uncover digital traps.*

### **1: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence (What Exactly Is It?)**

* **Artificial intelligence is not a "movie robot":** The fundamental difference between science fiction and practical reality.
* **How it works (simply):** Imagine a "giant library"; AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the completion of a sentence or create a new image.
* **Where do we use it now?** The spell checker, Netflix and YouTube suggestions, GPS navigation, and voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa.

---

### **2: Using artificial intelligence to make your life easier**

* **Interacting with artificial intelligence (ChatGPT, Cloud, Gemini):**
* Writing formal emails or complex letters.
* Summarizing long articles or huge documents.
* Plan travel itineraries or create food recipes from ingredients available in the refrigerator.

* **Creativity and Memory:**
* Create creative images for greeting cards (via Midjourney or DALL-E).
Restoring and coloring old family photos.

3: The art of speaking to the machine (the Prompt skill)**

* **Context Style:** Why is the phrase "Give me a cake recipe" less effective than "I have a gluten allergy and I'm having 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".
* **Role-taking:** Learn to ask the artificial intelligence to "speak like a tourism expert" or "answer me like a specialized agricultural engineer."

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (A Survival Guide)**

Digital hallucinations:** Understand that artificial intelligence may confidently present false information (never rely on it for medical or legal advice without verification).
Privacy protection
Do not share sensitive data (ID numbers, passwords, bank details).
Be aware that everything you write may be used to train systems in the future.

Detecting deepfakes:**
How to identify fake photos or videos (examine hand details, strange reflections, or metallic sound).
* The golden rule: Verify by cross-referencing different sources.

5: Ethics and Impact (A Future Perspective)**

Copyright: Who owns the image created by artificial intelligence?
Environmental impact: Water and energy consumption in large data centers.
The future: Will artificial intelligence replace us or will it be an assistant to us?

Additional tip:** Since you are targeting the Gulf region, it is preferable to use terms such as "Digital Transformation" and "Innovation" at the beginning of your presentation, as they are very catchy words for decision-makers there.

I offer relaxed, supportive chess lessons for beginners and developing players of all ages.

My approach is about more than simply learning the rules or memorising openings. I use chess to help people build confidence, concentration, patience, decision-making, resilience and problem-solving skills while learning the game at their own pace.

I particularly enjoy working with people who may feel nervous about learning something new, have struggled with traditional teaching styles, or simply want a more patient and encouraging way to learn chess.

Lessons are adapted to the individual. Some people learn best by playing, some by talking through positions, and others by breaking the game down step by step.

There is no pressure to compete or already be good at chess. Complete beginners are very welcome.

My aim is simple: help you understand the board, enjoy the game and become more confident in finding your own moves.
