Hello dear chess friends! I am David, a chess player from Romania. I've just found this club yesterday and I am happy to be a part of it. I think I will create this forum where I will present myself for the club members, for those who want to learn from me. From now I will create lessons in this club, which I hope can help you. Let's see what you have to know about me!
I was always attracted to teach people not only in chess but in other things too. Now I think I reached the level of playing when I can start teaching people who want to learn. Currently I have a rapid rating of 1535, but I was on a tilt and I lost a few rating points. I am not really playing rapid, only against my students and in my city's practice tournaments. I started teaching this year and I already have a few students. You might think that a player like me, who started chess 1 year ago cannot be a good teacher, because I don't have too many experience, but I think experience isn't really linked to the age of the player. I already have above 3000 games played on chess.com and I am playing very often in OTB tournaments. However let's talk about my teaching method:
As an ~1500-1600~ rated player I will accept students with the rating below 1300. I can talk during our teaching sessions in english, romanian and hungarian. I challenge my students to two unrated daily games (3 days per move) one with white and one with black and I will explain every move we play, like why I moved there, what was your mistake etc.
I will invite you to my club "DavidGaming08 Students Club" and there you can join our vote chess games where we discusse our moves and I will tell you my insights. I let my students to come up with their own ideas and we will discusse them. I won't tell you the best moves, I will only try to get you better at chess thinking. My only criteria is that vote on our discussed move only in the last 24 hours and don't vote without seeing the chat. Please don't try to join the club if you are not my student.
I will also create some studies in this club on endgames, tactical patterns and other.
There will be also some daily tournaments for beginners.
This is a new idea. If you have a Lichess account I can create two studies. In one of them I will give you some puzzles and in the other one we can analyze your games. Don't be sure that I will do this because I am just very busy this year, because I have exams and some national championships too.
Sometimes when we both have time, we can also create some chess.com classroom meetings, but this won't be done many times.
Well, I hope you are interested in this. You might have the question what does it cost. My answer is nothing. As an intermediate chess player and a beginner chess coach I don't want to get something in reverse because of this.
Wow! Did you reach the end of this forum? Congratulations! If you have any questions just feel free to ask me. Regards,
David
