Hello! My name is Garnik. I am a chess coach with 10 years of coaching experience and an engineering background. I started competing at an early age and achieved strong results in regional and national tournaments in Armenia, including championship titles and prize finishes in adult competitions. As a coach, I focus on structured training, clear explanations, and a systematic approach to learning. I work with children, teenagers, and adults, helping students not just memorize moves, but understand chess, think logically, and make confident decisions over the board. I prepare students both for confident recreational play and for tournament participation, adapting the training process to each student’s level, goals, and pace of development.

Hello

Online chess coaches

The largest online chess school ChessFirst will help everyone develop their skills. We have a large number of coaches at our disposal, among which there are both experts in working with children and in teaching chess to adults, regardless of the current level.
All our coaches are professionals in their field, who not only have a serious chess level (not lower than a candidate for a master of sports), but also have undergone special training as coaches, and over several years of practice have developed an individual approach and have deeply mastered the methodological part of the work. They will help every chess player to reveal their creative potential on the basis of modern high-quality chess education and will find an individual approach to everyone. For children under six years of age, all classes are held in a playful way using interactive games.

Features of the lessons

All our coaches are professionals in their field, who not only have a serious chess level (not lower than a candidate for a master of sports), but have also undergone special training as coaches, and over several years of practice have developed an individual approach and deeply mastered the methodological part of the work. They will help every chess player to reveal their creative potential on the basis of modern high-quality chess education and will find an individual approach to everyone. For children under six years of age, all classes are held in a playful way using interactive games.

Classes with adults involve individual selection of theoretical material for self-study, which is further dealt with by the coach, regular game practice and analysis of games. All this together will not only help to increase the level of the game, but will also positively affect the qualities that will be useful in everyday life, for example, the ability to strategically look at the situation and calculate various scenarios.

Pupils of our school regularly participate in tournaments, including international ones. Constant practice allows you to consolidate theoretical knowledge and significantly expand your understanding of the situation on the board. To make sure of the professionalism of our trainers, you can sign up for a free lesson with any of them and, based on what you see, decide on further classes in our online school.
