Hi! my name is Matías Ianovsky. I am a professional Chess coach.
Certified as FIDE Trainer (FT), which is the highest trainer title delivered by the International Chess Federation, FIDE Candidate Master (CM), FIDE School Instructor (FSI) and Docente de Ajedrez by FEDA (Spain Chess Federation), I have been teaching Chess for almost 20 years in schools, chess clubs and private lessons. My ELO FIDE is 2218.
I have students in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, England, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United States.
I am a certified coach on the online platforms Chess and Lichess.
-The Lessons:
After 20 years of teaching chess to a wide range of people from all ages and levels I concluded that progress in chess has three pillars: Train, Analyze and Play. That is the general structure of my lessons: TAP, Train, Analyze and Play. However, in addition to the structure, there is a more specific element: my classes are always, always! personalized. The content, pace, methods and training material is adapted to your skills and goals in relation to chess.
The lessons are challenging and entertaining, you will have to find creative solutions to different scenarios. Depending on your level and aims we will work over a vast array of subjects : Calculation, Tactics, Theoretical endgames, Positional play, Dynamics, Openings, Pawns structures, Planning, Blindfold training, Swindles, Pattern recognition, among others.
Besides we are going to address more specific topics, to name a few: intuition versus calculation, time administration, building an opening repertoire, practical utility of artistic problems, making a good use of chess engines and databases, psychological aspects of the decision making process.
After every lesson I send homework about the content we are studying (Puzzles, Games, Videos, BooksDatabases, among others).
I think that a plus of my classes is that I keep permanent contact with my students, they can ask me or comment anything about chess outside the lesson time.
My main goal as a coach is not only to help my students to improve their level but also to make them have a good time. The lesson must be full of content, entertaining and challenging at the same time. For me that is an imperative.
I invite you to learn chess together!
