Every player is unique, so I take the time to understand your goals, your playing style, and the challenges you face. Together we discuss your strengths, your weaknesses, and the parts of the game where you feel confident—or where you get stuck.
I carefully analyze your previous games to identify recurring patterns and key areas for improvement. Based on this, I design a structured training plan specifically adapted to your level, your ambitions, and the time you can dedicate to chess.
This tailored approach ensures focused, measurable, and long-term progress.
Improvement is not just about memorizing moves, it is about learning how to think at the chessboard.
In our lessons, you will work on exercises and positions carefully selected for your level, helping you reach the next milestone step by step. I will guide you toward openings that truly fit your style, so you can play positions you understand and enjoy.
More importantly, I help you refine your decision-making process:
You will learn practical techniques that can be applied immediately in your own games.
Trying to improve alone can be a long and frustrating path. With so many books, videos, and online resources available, it's easy to feel active without actually progressing.
A chess coach changes that completely.
With over 20 years of professional experience at the highest level, I guide you through a proven and efficient training method. Instead of wasting time on random study or video, you focus on what truly matters for your development.
I will teach you how to look at positions and games with a Grandmaster's perspective—helping you understand chess more deeply and make better decisions when it counts.

For two years, our son has had the chance to take chess lessons with Tigran. We have been deeply impressed by his kindness and attention to each student, and his vast technical knowledge adapted to each child's pace and needs.
We are extremely grateful for the essential role Tigran plays in our son's development, both personally and in his chess learning.
I started playing chess with Tigran three years ago as a total beginner (400-600 Elo). After taking lessons twice or three times a month, I quickly reached 1400 on Chess.com and 1700 on Lichess. Thanks to his vast experience and impressive career, he provides insights that no book can teach. Excellent teacher, 10/10 recommendation!
Tigran is passionate about chess — and it shows in every lesson. He is highly knowledgeable but also attentive and patient, ensuring that each session focuses on the student's strengths and weaknesses. This makes every lesson productive and enjoyable!
A huge thank you for what you do, sharing your immense chess expertise with so many people. You make it accessible to everyone with great professionalism, constant good humor, and a seemingly effortless simplicity.
After 35 years without playing, you gave me new perspectives. With the tools you offer and you at the helm, never far away, I can only succeed. Now if you'll excuse me, Tigran's Caro-Kann is waiting for me...
Tigran's Italian Opening course helped me gain 200 Elo in just 3 months! Then I kept going with strategy and endgame packs — I've improved another 300 Elo since.
