Online chess lessons for beginner and intermediate level. Learn the basics and improve quickly!

It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about this subject and you want to get into it or if you already know how to play and you want to master your skills, I can help you with that! It's scientifically proven that chess helps you to develop and strengthen many aptitudes such as: efficient planning, creativity, self-criticism, discipline, logical reasoning, problem solving and concentration. That's why playing chess is so good for mental health or children and adults. But also, and even more important, it's fun!!

I've been playing chess since I was 5 years old, competing at an international level and being awarded many times. I've also given chess lessons since I was 15 until now, when I'm 25.

With my classes, you'll learn all the strategies and tactics while focusing in the three parts of a chess game: the opening, the middle game and the endgame.

Webcam classes are totally feasible for chess both for adults and kids! Thankfully Covid isn't a problem for learning chess. In fact, one of my young students reached the 2020 Under 8 Terefinal of the UK Chess Challenge after only a year of classes!

Reviews (7)

Fantastic teacher with the right approach towards strength/weaknesses of his apprentices. Time flies in his classes with a great mix of theory, game analysis and strategy. Immediate improvement of my game. Also really likeable personality and overall a great guy! Can’t recommend him more.
Ignacio did a great job of putting my son at ease, making learning fun, and teaching some chess. My son was buzzing about the lesson afterwards.
I am utterly delighted that I have met Ignacio. I have tried to learn Chess on several occasions with different instructors. For whatever reason I just haven’t been able to understand the game enough to actually enjoy it. However, within just a few lessons of working with Ignacio I have completely fallen in love with the game of chess. Ignacio has a certain skill in that he makes something quite complicated, seem very very easy. I have found that I have picked up techniques and I have a couple of simple openings that are already winning me games, and filling me full of confidence. I would strongly recommend Ignacio to anyone that wanted to learn Chess. I for one will be continually using him for a very very long time.
Very friendly and funny, my 8 year old Son enjoyed the lesson
I've just had my first lesson with Ignacio and it was a most instructive and pleasant experience. I'm already looking forward to the next lesson.

Stephen
Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player
Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.
