10+ years of teaching experience. I love spreading my passion for chess! Lessons can be booked here: bookme.name/chessknight

Published 15+ courses on Chessable! www.chessable.com/author/logozar/

Best skills

Opening preparation, classic games, analytic precision, effective calculation methods, and precise methodology for adult improvers. I also have a background in neurology and psychology. As an extrovert, I tend to easily connect with others - hopefully, I'll be able to inspire you too!

Teaching methodology

- My friend/co-author IM Yaacov Norowitz recommends emphasizing enjoyment
- Extensive reading helps prepare for lessons: I can remember what various books advised + what I learned from them.
- Game analysis helps connect concepts to practice and also help develop a training plan for you. Openings work as well.
- Adult Improvement Framework: www.chess.com/blog/Milliern/a-theoretical-framework-for-adult-improvement

You can prepare questions, bring your games, and we analyze them together. I find related master games to show you as well.
