About the lesson
After 18 years of teaching chess to a wide range of people from all ages and levels I came to the conclussion that progress in chess has three pilars: Train, Analyze and Play. That´s the general structure of my lessons: TAP, Train, Analyze and Play. But you need to know that, in addittion to the structure, there is a more specific element: my lessons are always, always! personalized. The content and dynamic is determinated by your interest and objectives in relation to chess.
The lessons are dynamic and entertaining, always you will have to find solutions to different kind of situations. Depending on your level and aims we will work over different subjects : Calculation, Tactics, Theoretical endgames, Positional play, Dynamics, Openings, Pawns structures, Planning, Blindfold training, Swindles, Pattern recognition, among others.
Besides we will work over more specific topics, to name a few: intuition versus calculation, time administration, building an opening repertoire, practic utility of artistic problems, making a good use of chess engines and databases, psychological aspects of the decision making process.
After every lesson I send homework about the content we are studying (Puzzles, Games, Videos, Books, Databases, and even some chess humor)
I think that a plus of my lessons is that I keep permanent contact with my students, they can ask me or comment anything about chess outside the lesson time.
My main goal as a coach is not only to help my students to improve their level but also to make them have a good time. The lesson must be full of content, entertaining and challenging at the same time. For me that’s an imperative.
Free first Nivelation lesson:
You can try a first 30 min lesson free of charge!
In that lesson through a series of puzzles I will test your skills and your thinking process in concrete positions. Then, if you like the content and dynamic of the lesson, we can build a training plan and start working on it on a regular basis.
I invite you to learn chess together!
Important !!: Please, send me an email (it´s on my Lichess Coach profile) before purchase a lesson

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Matías.
Perfect! Matías is an extraordinary chess tutor. I had watched videos and done puzzles for a year, but was not improving any more. I wanted someone to assess the best way for me to improve and Matías delivered. He created a curriculum for me based on his assessment, creates training exercises to do between sessions, and makes each session an excellent learning experience. Matías comes to each session with a lesson plan and is great at listening to my thinking and guiding it to think better. Best of all, he is so enthusiastic about Chess and teaching that you cannot help but enjoy each lesson.

Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I was always an enthusiastic and self-taught chess player. I had never thought about taking classes until my performance made me realize that I couldn't keep improving. Therefore, I decided to take classes as an alternative. I tried different teachers until I found Matías. His enthusiasm for chess is noticeable and he transmits it to you at all times. He is always ready for the next class with exercises and goals. Attentive to any concern. With good study material. Patient. I definitely recommend it.
My daughter has been taking classes with Matias for a while now and her improvement is amazing. Im super happy with the quality of the lessons and the personal detail Matias puts into the classes for her growth.
