About Ilija
Hello! I'm FIDE Candidate Master Ilija Stanojevic. I've been playing chess since I was 4. I have 15+ years of experience playing chess and 3+ years of coaching beginners in an earlier stage. I am a 21-year-old chess coach with a passion for helping players of all levels improve their skills and reach their goals. With a strong understanding of chess theory and tactics, I can effectively communicate and teach these concepts to my students. I have experience working with both individuals and groups and can adapt my teaching style to meet the needs of my students.

About coaching:
The concept of my lessons is planned for at least 10 lessons, I will make a plan for how we will work after I see what is the most critical segment of your understanding of chess. That's the part that we are starting. My focus is on helping you develop strong strategic and tactical skills, as well as a solid understanding of calculation and positional play.

(FOR STUDENTS WHO START LEARNING FROM 0)
Start with the basics:
Teach the names and movements of the pieces
How the board is set up
The basics
By Lesson:
Lesson 1: In the first lesson I like to play with new students one game with white pieces and one game with black pieces,
after the games, we will discuss them, analyze them, and figure out what the mistakes student made in the games.
Lesson 2: Teach basic opening principles
I will explain the importance of controlling the center and developing pieces in the opening.
That will be the lesson just for openings and to see what students like the most. I will find out in the first weeks what type of player you are and I will give you the best advice on how to learn new openings.
Lesson 3: Teach basic endgame principles
The 3rd one is reserved for endgames, I want to see how the student will approach basic endgames.
we will Discuss the importance of simplifying to favorable endgames and avoiding pawn weaknesses in the endgame.
Introduce basic endgame concepts such as opposition, triangulation, and zugzwang.
Lesson 4:
In every four lessons, we will play at least one game and after that, we will analyze it.
Lesson 5: Tactical patterns
I will introduce more advanced tactical patterns such as discovered attacks, double attacks, and overloading.
We will discuss how to recognize and create tactical opportunities.
Lesson 6: Positional concepts
I will introduce positional concepts such as outposts, weak squares, and pawn structures.
We will discuss how to use positional advantages to create long-term advantages.
After the first sixth lessons I like to continue in this way, and it turned out that my students liked this choice of continuing lessons==>
Lesson 7***: Introduce opening theory
I know a lot of opening theory especially aggressive lines in every opening, I like to attack and that's my style,
and that's how I will teach you
Lesson 8: Playing and analyzing games
As I said before in every fourth lesson I will play with you at least one game, and after that, we will analyze them
Lesson 9: Tactical exercises
My lessons are also based on a lot of exercises, you are solving them with my help, and I am explaining to you everything you don't understand
Lesson 10: Review mistakes
I Review your previous games played by the student and discuss mistakes and missed opportunities.
We will Practice identifying and correcting these mistakes in future games.
After every lesson I will send you the chess material that we learned in that lesson.
Best skills
I am well-versed in all aspects of chess, with a particular focus on the middle game and strategy. While I am proficient in the opening, I believe that strengthening one's understanding of strategy and tactics is the key to success in chess. Many players lack a strong foundation in these areas, and improving this can significantly improve their overall play. By combining a solid understanding of strategy and tactics with a strong foundation in the opening, I am confident that I can achieve success in my chess endeavors.
️I offer comprehensive chess instruction, covering all phases of the game, including the opening, middlegame, and endgame.
️My focus is on helping students develop strong strategic and tactical skills, as well as a solid understanding of calculation and positional play.
️ I will work with you to identify your strengths and weaknesses and create a customized plan to help you improve.
️ I will also guide how to analyze your games, fix mistakes, and develop a more cohesive and effective style of play.
️Additionally, I will provide homework assignments and Chessbase and Lichess study files

Taught me a lot of new things, easy to communicate, easy to make plans with. What more can there be? Well ofc there can be more: he analyses random games I play, points out flaws and strengths and tries to improve both of the aspects instead of just sticking to some rigid coaching plan. Would recommend with my full heart.
Ilija is an exceptional coach. His approach is remarkably thorough and inclusive, featuring abundant training materials and a tailored daily program that suits your level and objectives. He possesses an excellent intuition for discerning your strengths and weaknesses, often in ways that may elude your own perception. Although I believed I was proficient in calculation, Ilija astutely diagnosed my lack of confidence in complex situations as a weakness in my calculation ability that was hindering my progress. This kind of insight is precisely what you seek in a coach, and our sessions have centered on refining my skills in precisely the types of positions where deep and precise calculation is essential I wholeheartedly endorse Ilija as a coach.
