FM Aras Vardanyan
Not just a titled player
Our chief coach FM Aras Vardanyan is FIDE certified and holds 2370 rating. But as he puts it, this is not his core focus: “Working with Chessodoro students is very rewarding. I am a life long scholar and teacher at heart. Being able to serve so many students with quality chess coaching is my dream.”
FM Sandro Šafar (LionChess)
Your last chess coach!
I specialize in simplifying complex concepts and teaching players how to truly understand chess rather than memorize it. Improve quickly through rules and principles that have stood the test of time! Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching 181 students from 31 countries, each with their own style and goals. I also share educational videos on my LionChess YouTube channel, where I break down strategy in a simple, relatable way. It has always been my dream to help people reach their dreams and goals, and I can happily say I'm living that dream through chess! 🙂
