Michaël is friendly and calm and thoughtful. I enjoyed the lesson with him.
Mickael is very educational and he will quickly show you the main lines to follow according to your level and your preferred openings. It works on lichess and it will leave your analysis file available on your lichess account.

Life coaching - The road to a new and positive life
At a certain moment in your life you can feel restless in one or more areas of life. Professional, financial, private or emotional. Life coaching is aimed at self-development. You learn to make choices and you are encouraged to achieve results and actually achieve your goals. Know that the key to success lies with you! It is no longer a secret that we are all extremely busy and think that we no longer have time for ourselves, for some free time. Perhaps you have made choices in the past that no longer make you happy and that you remain attached to. It is therefore all so easy to keep wandering in our familiar life while you realize that there must be more. As a result, we are not feeling well in our skin. We all recognize ourselves sometimes in the sense of 'lack'. Sometimes we don't even know what we want, what we dream of. We know that there is more for us, but we cannot see it. Life coaching ensures that you gain insight into your life again. Together we look for those insights, the causes and that new path. We work with all the potential you have towards that perfect life. The insight that you can take control of your life and finally change things. It's okay to dream and go after it.

Learn to play chess - tutorials on strategy and planning
I have been playing chess since I was 6 years old, individually and for various chess teams, mostly in Greece. I have won the Thessaloniki tournament for ages under 15 and have met Kasparov and Karpov playing in the chess olympics in 1986! I love this game and I enjoy teaching new chess players!

Buddhist Meditation Instruction - Learn to be exactly who you are.
“Meditation doesn’t work!” Has this thought ever crossed your mind? Maybe you’ve tried meditation or even done some mindfulness exercises. Sure, they might have helped you relax, maybe encouraged you to take a deep breath or two (or more) and maybe you felt a bit better. But then you got sick and scared, or had a fight with your partner, or yelled at a stranger. And you thought, “Well, eff that. I’ve been meditating for days/months/years and I’m still a jerk. Meditation doesn't work.” And you are right. Meditation doesn’t work if what we are trying to do is bypass the difficulties and discomfort of being a human being. If you are trying to change who you are. Then meditation definitely doesn’t work. But it does work if what you are seeking is to suffer less. Or at least to suffer well. And you don’t even need to be a Buddhist to explore Buddhist meditation. I look forward to meditating with you. We can practice, then talk about practice and life. It’s kind of the same thing.
