CM with 20+ years of competitive experience
I'm Paulius Juknis, a Candidate Master from Lithuania. I actively compete in blitz, rapid, and classical tournaments both domestically and internationally, traveling abroad 3-4 times per year for strong classical events.
As an active tournament player, I bring practical, real-world insights to every lesson. I understand the challenges you face because I've experienced them myself.
Proven coaching approach focused on fundamentals
With 5 years of coaching experience, I've worked with players of all levels. One of my proudest achievements: guiding a student from 1600 to 2100 FIDE over four years.
My strength is opening preparation, but I focus on solid foundations with improving players — tactics, calculation, endgames, and strategic understanding. I've built an extensive resource library that I adapt to your playing strength.

We'll start by creating a personalized training plan together based on your level, goals, and the areas you want to improve. My approach emphasizes practical game analysis and building a solid opening repertoire from my extensive resource library.
Through Chessodoro's platform, you'll follow your training plan independently while I provide weekly coaching sessions for game review, accountability, and expert feedback. Whether you're a beginner or an improver, the combination of structured training and personal coaching will make steady progress your new reality.
