Hello to anyone that is reading this, my name is karthik korrapati, and I have taken chess lessons from Ivan; he is an 18 - 1900 rated player on lichess and is very strong in tactics and strategy and the ideas of chess; I have and am continuing taking tutoring lessons from him for almost the last three years, since the lockdown, and from the bottom of my heart I want to say that Ivan has been one of the most helpful, understanding and teaching people I have seen, we usually meet on skype every Saturday. I believe that many other people would become much better at chess with him as their helper, as most of my rise in the beautiful game of chess is credited to him. Without Ivan, I would not even know how to spot a checkmate in one.
If you are looking for a chess tutor or a helper of some kind in the game of chess, I would 100% recommend Ivan.

My dad was a chess player but never a teacher, he didn't have patience. Learning from Ivan brought that patience. The best lesson I leathers from Ivan was never to rush my moves. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

If you want to go from zero to hero in the game of chess like me, then Ivan is your teacher. Ivan gave me simple Step by step instructions on how to understand the game of Chess. He is patient, caring and is extremely reliable. His knowledge level of the game is way beyond any other teacher I have met.

Ivan is an excellent chess teacher. His expertise in chess coupled with his tremendous ability to teach is a win for anyone wanting to learn or become better at the game. The skills I have learned with Ivan I took into my everyday life, making me a better business professional and a more tactical human. I have taken over 50 lessons with Ivan and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
