Strategic mastery,taught withpatienceand precision.
I help ambitious adults and aspiring young players sharpen their calculation, deepen their positional understanding, and compete with confidence — grounded in classical principles, adapted to the modern game.
A method built on rigor and clarity
Personalized Study Plans
Every curriculum is built around your games, your openings, and your specific gaps.
Tournament Preparation
Opening repertoires, time management, and psychological readiness for competition.
Kids & Adults, Separately
Age-appropriate pacing and material — never a one-size-fits-all lesson plan.
In-Person & Online
Study from anywhere, or meet locally — the method adapts to your circumstances.
A mentor for every stage of the board.
My path in chess has taken me across schools, clubs, and tournament halls in several countries — always with the same goal: to help a player see the board more clearly than they did the day before.
I coach two kinds of students with equal seriousness: professionals who want a disciplined, analytical outlet, and young players who need a patient, structured introduction to competitive chess. Every session is built around your specific weaknesses — not a generic curriculum.

From students and parents
Emin restructured how I calculate variations entirely. Within months I was seeing three moves deeper without forcing it.
My son went from knowing the rules to winning his first scholastic tournament in under a year. Patient and exacting.
The most disciplined, methodical coaching I have had — treats every session like preparation for a real event.
