GRANDMASTER
CHESS MENTORSHIP

STOP GUESSING HOW TO TRAIN. FOLLOW A CLEAR SYSTEM.

Most players stay stuck not because they lack talent – but because they lack structure. They jump from one idea to another, watch random videos, and hope for progress. That approach doesn’t work. What you need is a clear, proven system: a step-by-step training plan, a defined path, and constant feedback.
That’s exactly what this program provides.

NO CONFUSION. NO WASTED TIME. JUST FOCUSED, STRUCTURED IMPROVEMENT UNDER MY CONTROL.

What is chess mentorship

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship

ChessMentorship is a long-term structured training program designed to help you improve with clear direction, consistency, and personal guidance.

Instead of guessing what to study next, you follow a personalized system built around your level, goals, playing style, strengths, and weaknesses.

I create your individual training plan and guide you through it step by step.

You’ll work on practical exercises, carefully selected topics, opening preparation, and video lessons made specifically for you.

The goal is simple:

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship
TO HELP YOU TRAIN WITH PURPOSE

THINK BETTER DURING GAMES

MAKE STEADY LONG-TERM PROGRESS

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship
GETTING STARTED

To begin, you’ll fill out a short form about yourself. I’ll ask for some basic info, your Chess.com or Lichess profile (so I can review your games), your strengths and weaknesses, your opening preferences, and of course – your goals in chess. Based on that, I’ll put together your personal training plan and send you the first section.

YOUR WORK BEGINS

You go through the first section at your own pace. Each section usually includes practical tasks, new strategic or tactical ideas, work on your openings, and a few focused exercises. Most players take around 2-3 weeks to complete one section. While you’re working, I stay in touch – you get feedback, answers to your questions, and help whenever you need it.

REVIEW & FEEDBACK

Once you’ve completed the section, you send it back to me. I go through your work, record a video where I break down your games (the ones you’ve attached), and give you clear, honest feedback. If needed, I may ask you to revisit parts of the section and clean things up.

NEXT SECTION

If everything looks good, I unlock the next part of your plan. As we go, I keep adjusting your training based on your progress, your results, and your opening preferences. The program stays flexible – it evolves with you.

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship

Give it a few months of consistent, structured work, and you’ll already feel the difference in how you think and play.
Stick with it for a year, and you’ll reach a completely new level of understanding of the game.

WHY THIS APRROACH WORKS

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU TRAIN CONSISTENTLY. THAT’S THE FOUNDATION OF IMPROVEMENT IN ANY SPORT.

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship

YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO WORK ON. NO MORE WASTING TIME AND ENERGY SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT MATERIALS OR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TRAIN.

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship

IT’S SIMPLY EASIER, BECAUSE I’LL BE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU AND MAKE SURE YOU DON’T GET STUCK.

STUDENTS RESULTS

Based on my experience, even if a student trains for just 30 minutes a day but does it consistently, they will definitely see progress. Of course, the overall results will depend on how many hours per week you are willing to dedicate to chess (and I'm not only talking about our private chess classes).

These results are based on real students I have worked with over the first 3 months:

Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship
A rating increase
of 200–400 points

calculation skills
Valery Filippov | Chess mentorship
