Hi, dear chess friend!
I’ve been playing chess for more than 25 years and have reached a peak rating of 2319 which got me the title of FIDE Master. I’m also a Woman International Master.
In addition to playing, I have been composing studies and problems since I was a teenager.
I found my true calling at 18 when I started coaching. Since then I have taught thousands of students, children, and adults, in schools, clubs, and private lessons. Some of them have won national championships and are now Masters!
With my accumulated experience, I will help you accomplish your chess goals while having a great time!
