You can see lessons online only. You have access for 1 year. After this period of time you can renew your subscription with 5 euro only. However, no one see the old lessons again, am I right?

In my lessons I suggest you to have a notebook; draging out the most important ideas of the lesson so you'll not need to see the video lesson again.

Please also notice that the PDF files are downlotable; so you can print them if you like.

You can see the lessons from your desctop, tablet, or your mobile. The only things that you need is a blowser, like Chrome, and to log in on the website with your personal password.

First things first, I designed the 404 error page with this lovely blue girl; do you like it? You can see this page by clicking here.

Each training program like “Rookie-1000”, “Beginner 1100”, etc is a chess club yearly proogram. This is the training that we perform inside a chess club during the school year. Performing one lesson per week are aproximately 30-40 lessons per year.

Of course you can study the lesson with your own pace; according to your free time. However, I suggest you to trully understand one idea before move to the next one. If you study constently, 1 hour per week, then you'll be able to finilize the lesson after 6-8 months. Please remember that you'll have access for 1 year.

Similalry, there are other chess courses like openings or indivisoual lessons. Their duration is less, compering to the training programs but it doesn't mean that they are not comperhansive.

Yes, my courses are protected from illegal distribution. It’s a necessary measure. Otherwise these lessons will be quickly distributed amongst all the chess players. This will reduce the courses’ power, because your opponents will share the same knowledge as you.

Also it will be annoying for you, if you pay for a product while many other people got it for free. Thus, I want to protect my honest students and my courses. That’s why I implemented an anti-piracy protection. Therefore you cannot share the ideas that I'm presending without my permishion.

No, I'm sorry but I'm offering only online lessons.

The private lessons has duration of 1 hour. At the beginning of the lesson you'll learn the most important ideas of the topic. Then we'll examin illustrative examples on this topic. During the lesson I'll make you questions. After the lesson you'll understood complete the topic and you'll be ready to apply the ideas on your own games. You can see the suggested chess topics by clicking here.

Analysis of your games can be done during the lesson. Usually we dedicate the first hour to analyze your games.

The private lessons cost in conjuction to your rating. Inticative you can see below:

•  euro the package || ELO 0 – 1200
• 10 euro / hour || ELO 1300 – 1500
• 15 euro / hour || ΕΛΟ 1500 – 2000

The beginer package are the first 4 years at chess. As long as these lessons are ready inside the training program there is no need for me to perform private lessons on this level. Exeption is the lesson on a Chess Club group or inside school programs. If you are intresting for this king of lessons then please feel free to send me an e-mail.

Note: I'm not offering indepented lessons of 1 hour only. You should select at least 4 hours to start the private training.

The private lessons goes in 4. If you like to srart the private training then you should decide in advance to take 4 lessons (one hour each).

I suggest to perform 1 private lesson weekly. In this way you'll have time to assimilate the lesson and to make a recap. I already wrote down the suggested curriculum for the lessons; you can see it by clicking here.

To start the training you have to pay in advance. Please also notice the bank / PayPal charge then you should bear the cost.

You can find me online on famus chess platforms of LiChess and Chess.com. If your rating is close to mine then we can play a game. Please also notice that I'm not accepting challenges on your own time control; I play 3+0 or 3+1. If you are not on my level then I suggest to find a more suitable opponent for you.

I could do that but it's more important to learn correctly an opening from scratch. Please take a look at my detailed opening courses by clicking here.

I'm sorry this is not an option. I'm a professional trainer and if you like to improve at chess then you need to follow a training “frame”.

The most objective way is FIDE official rating. If you don't ever play on official tournaments then you can try online rating on chess platforms of LiChess or Chess.com. In general online rating are bigger by 200 to 400 points.

Last but not least you're welcome to try my tests by clicking here.

Of course. The best way to do that is studing your games. This is something that your friends, who have aproximately the same level with you, cannot do. It's also imposible to spot your mistakes by using chess programs. A chess program can suggest you the best move in the position but it will not explain the thing system behind it; how to find the right moves.

It's also important to note here that people do mistakes according to their chess strenght. I have being doing lessons for 20 years now and read a lot of chess books so I found the typical errors that players do according to their ELO. You can read these typical mistakes that I mention during the chess training programs by clicking here.

The messages goes under control. There are some people who wrote dummy things. People accuse me in the past for censorship, however political, football, and other stupid comments are not welcome on my channel. These kind of people can post on their social media accounts.

I start my YouTube channel by making Greek videos and I'm the most famous chess person on my country. Still my most popular videos are Greek but I hope it will change in the future.

Till 2020 I do English lessons on YouTube channel. I post Greek videos very rarely in order to promote a new training course; hopefully you'll understand it.

Live broadcast on Twitch is really cool and important thing. I do enjoy them a lot. I'll try to add it again on my weekly program however it's more important for me to continue creating the training chess program on the website.
