About Igor-Alexandre

About Me
I’m a French International Grandmaster (FIDE 2535) with over 25 years of experience helping players grow — from complete beginners to world champions.

Whether you're just starting out, trying to improve online, or preparing for serious tournaments, I’ll help you reach your goals with a clear, step-by-step approach.

Why study with me?
- I’ve beaten Magnus Carlsen in official play
- I coached Teymur Radjabov to 2793 and a World Cup title
- I trained the U10 World Champion (2022)
- I work with adults and children, from age 6 to 70+

My students have gone from casual players to masters — and beyond.
But this isn’t just about titles. It’s about helping you become a stronger, more confident player.

What you’ll get in my lessons

. A fully customized training plan based on your goals and level
. Clear, structured lessons focused on practical improvement

Whether you're looking to:

- Build a solid chess foundation
- Help your child develop focus and confidence
- Compete seriously online or over the board
- Or simply enjoy the game with a deeper understanding

I'll show you exactly what to do, and how to do it — efficiently and effectively.

ABOUT MY LESSONS:

Effective coaching starts with understanding you. Your level, your goals, your learning style.

That’s why my lessons are always tailored. Whether you’re stuck in a rating plateau, preparing for tournaments, or finally ready to master the basics — we’ll work with a plan made just for you.

And it won’t be passive learning. You'll be actively involved — solving positions, analyzing ideas, asking questions — and improving quickly.

We can focus on:

- Building a practical, personalized opening repertoire
- Improving your positional understanding and strategic vision
- Sharpening your calculation and tactical precision
- Developing a structured thinking process during real games
- Preparing for tournaments — mentally, technically, and emotionally
- Understanding why good moves work — and how to find them yourself

No matter your age or rating, we’ll focus on what will make the biggest difference in your play — now and long term.

My coaching style

My methods are built on decades of experience, including my time as full-time coach to Super-GM Radjabov during his rise to world #4.
But whether you’re an ambitious adult, a talented kid, or someone returning to chess later in life, I bring the same dedication, structure, and clarity to every lesson.
Lessons are serious, but never rigid — and always focused on real progress.

Between lessons

I stay in touch with my students — especially during tournaments — to offer support, prep help, or just encouragement when it matters.

Languages

I teach in English or French, depending on your preference.
