Chess Coach Online
Learn Chess Online with Grandmaster Valery Filippov
Looking for a chess coach online who can truly help you grow as a player?
I’m Grandmaster Valery Filippov, a professional chess coach with over 20 years of international experience — both as a competitor and as a teacher.
Through my online chess lessons, I help students of all levels understand the deeper logic of the game and build lasting improvement.
Online coaching allows you to learn from anywhere in the world — no matter your age, skill level, or time zone. Each session is completely personalized and focused on your goals.
Why Learn with a Grandmaster Chess Coach
Being able to work with a grandmaster chess coach provides you the same type of preparation and insight that pros receive.
I take my years of successful high level play experience and meld it with tested methods to help you reach top rankings way faster.
You’ll learn to:
- Think like a tournament player, not just react to moves.
- Recognize and fix typical positional mistakes.
- Build an opening repertoire that fits your style.
- Master endgames with clear and simple techniques.
- Analyze your own games with precision and purpose.
As a GM chess coach, I adapt every lesson to your learning speed and personal objectives. My students range from beginners who just learned the rules to titled players preparing for national and international tournaments.
Tools and Platforms I Use for Online Training
All lessons are conducted 1-on-1 via Teams, Google Meet, and Lichess with an interactive chessboard.
Typical sessions last 60 minutes, though longer trainings are available for advanced students.
Each student receives:
- A structured improvement plan.
- Digital materials and exercises.
- PGN files with analyzed games.
- Homework to reinforce learning between sessions.
You can also choose my Remote Chess Coaching Program, which includes study plans and feedback via email — ideal for players who prefer learning independently but still want guidance from a professional chess coach.
Who These Lessons Are For
- Kids (7+) who already know how the pieces move and want to achieve tournament success.
- Teenagers and adults who play actively online or in clubs and want to increase their rating.
- Tournament players looking for a deeper strategic understanding and consistent results.
Whether you’re aiming to improve your online rating or prepare for competitions, studying with a chess coach online is the most efficient and flexible way to grow.
