About Agil
FIDE rating 2508. World Under-16 Champion. European Under-14 Champion. Team silver medal at the Chess Olympiad. Winner of open tournaments in Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain.
I have spent the last 15 years doing one thing: turning stuck players into improving players. More than 100 students, beginners to tournament players, children and adults, all taught online.
Here is what I have learned. Most players who stop improving do not need more openings or more puzzles. They need a method for the moments when the position offers nothing obvious, because that is where games are actually lost.
That is what I teach. In any position where the plan is not clear, ask four questions: What is my worst piece? What does the pawn structure tell me? What does my opponent want? Which exchange can I force? A player who runs those four questions has a procedure instead of a guess, and you will see it in your results within weeks, long before it shows in your rating.
Send me two or three of your recent games before you book. I will tell you honestly what is holding you back, free, so you know exactly what we would work on together.

Lessons are one to one online, and every one is built around your own games rather than a fixed syllabus.
A typical lesson has three parts. First we look at a recent game and find the moment the position actually changed, which is usually earlier and quieter than the move that lost material. Second we work on the idea behind that moment: a pawn structure, an endgame technique, a calculation habit. Third you leave with a small amount of work to do before the next lesson, so the idea gets used and not just heard.
Over time we cover openings, middlegame plans, endgame technique, calculation and tournament preparation, but in the order your own games call for them. I would rather fix the mistake that is costing you points this month than teach a variation that may come up next year.
I work with beginners, club players and tournament players, children and adults. With younger students I keep the sessions concrete and ask a lot of questions instead of lecturing, because a child who can explain the reason for a move remembers it.
Send me two or three of your recent games, or your online profile, before the first lesson. That tells me more than any questionnaire and means the first session is already about you.
Packages: 5 lessons, or 10 lessons with one lesson free - you pay for nine, we play ten. The first 30 minutes are free, so you can see how I work before committing to anything.
