♜ Online Chess Lessons. All leves and ages. FIDE Trainer ♘

Advert description
After 22 years of teaching chess to people of all ages and skill levels, I've distilled the key to chess improvement into three fundamental pillars: Train, Analyze, and Play (TAP). These pillars form the foundation of my lessons. However, beyond this structured approach lies the most important element: personalization. My classes are always tailored to your unique needs, with the content, pace, methods, and training materials adapted to your individual skills and chess goals.

The lessons are both challenging and entertaining, and you will need to find creative solutions to different scenarios. Depending on your level and goals, we will cover a wide range of topics: calculation, tactics, theoretical endgames, positional play, dynamics, openings, pawn structures, planning, blindfold training, visualization, swindles, pattern recognition, and more.

Besides, we will also cover more specific topics, such as: intuition versus calculation, time management, building an opening repertoire, the practical use of artistic problems, making the best use of chess engines and databases, and the psychological aspects of decision-making.
After each lesson, I send homework related to the content we've studied (puzzles, games, multiple-choice tests, videos, books, databases, and more).


I believe one of the highlights of my classes is the constant contact I maintain with my students. They can always reach out to ask questions or share thoughts about chess, even outside lesson time.

As a coach, my main goal isn’t just to help my students improve their skills, but also to ensure they enjoy the process. Each lesson must be rich in content, challenging, and fun—all at once. To me, that’s a must.

You can try a first 30 min lesson free of charge
In that lesson, through a series of selected puzzles, I will test your skills and thinking process in concrete positions. Then, if you like the content and dynamic, we can build a training plan and start working on it on a regular basis.

Let's learn chess together and take your game to the next level!

Lessons are extremely fun and helpful. Matias is very knowledgeable, and you can tell working through his training materials that they are very carefully chosen and designed to provide maximum instructional value. He is also very patient and kind, great qualities in a teacher. I highly recommend his lessons for anyone looking to improve their game, or just have a great time with chess!

I have been working with Matias for a little over 2 months now and I think he is an excellent chess coach/ tutor/teacher. I have had 3 previous chess coaches who I all found lacking. Matias is not a "one size fits all" tutor. He strives to understands his students strengths and weaknesses and develops a program from there. He is attentive and fully present in the lessons. I find the lessons to be fun but challenging at the same time. He assigns homework after every lesson which is aimed at improving the individual student's understanding and skill level. I highly recommend Matias. I feel fortunate to have found an FIDE certified coach with Matias' strengths, teaching ability and personality.
