About me
My name is Valery Filippov. I am an international chess Grandmaster. My current USCF rating is 2656 and FIDE rating is 2553. I have been teaching chess for 19 years.
In 1998 I won the Academic World Chess Championship. In 2005 I was in top 50 best players of the world.
I played with such strong chess Grandmasters as Michael Adams, Alexander Grischuk, Etienne Bacrot, Vassily Ivanchuk, grandmaster Peter Leko, and etc. I entered the national team in the chess Olympiad in 1998.
My huge playing experience gives me an opportunity to teach.
MY CHESS COACHING SYSTEMS:
TWO DISTINCTIVE APPROACHES
ONLINE CHESS COACHING
These are personalized online chess classes tailored to your schedule. In our initial session, I will evaluate your current skill level, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and what you need to work on. Then, I’ll make a plan just for you to help you get better. After that, all our chess lessons will follow this plan. Each session will be about 60 minutes long, and we’ll use an easy-to-use chessboard to help you learn better. After each class, I’ll give you some homework to practice what you’ve learned. And you’ll always be able to access all the materials we use in our online chess lessons.
REMOTE CHESS COACHING
Not everyone has free time for individual lessons. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to agree on a time for lessons that is convenient for me and for the student. Especially if we are in different time zones. Also, some chess students prefer to study on their own at any convenient time. But not everyone knows exactly what to do.
Now there is a huge variety of different chess sites and simulators. But, unfortunately, most of them were created primarily for fun, but not for progress in chess. Therefore, I decided to create an effective learning system that will help the student to study according to a clearly structured plan and stay motivated at all times.

WHAT DO WE DO ON THE LESSONS
LEARN THE BEST OPENINGS
I will teach you the best and strongest openings, containing a large number of traps. This will not only prevent early-game piece losses but also enhance your prospects for swift victories.
ANALYSE YOUR GAMES
Working on errors is the most important part of studying. And this is the main reason why players can’t become better. Over and over again they repeat the same mistakes. My task is to find them and fix.
IMPROVE YOUR CHESS STRATEGY
This is one of the most difficult parts of chess. I will teach you how to find the best plan in any situation and how to properly develop your pieces. This will help you feel confident in any opening, even an unfamiliar one.
STUDY ENDGAMES
Everyone hates endgames because they find them very difficult. But that’s not true. In our online chess lessons I will prove to you that endgames can be easily worked with and teach you to understand the basic principles. And in the end, this can become your strong side!
LEARN FROM THE BEST GRANDMASTERS
We will explore the ingenuity of the finest chess players, endeavoring to grasp their unique logic and strategic prowess. And of course, I will encourage you to discover their masterful chess combinations.
PLAY
And of course we will play a lot! Very often I give my students positional or an advantage in time , so even if you’re totally a beginner, don’t worry, you’ll get a real chance of beating me!

Reviews about me
By the end of the first class I booked the second one and I’m looking forward to it.
Valery is not only very strong in playing and understanding chess, but also he is very good in tutoring. He has two talents combined together in one person - talent of playing and talent of teaching - and that is rare combination, I can say.
