About David

Graduated from the State Academy of Physical Education and Sports of Georgia and received a Bachelor's degree in Chess Coaching. I started my journey as a chess coach after achieving the Grandmaster title and a 2593 FIDE rating. In 2006, my student Sopiko Guramishvili took the under 16 World Champion title. After that, more of my students finished in the top 3 of World and European Championships, including more World Champions. In 2012, I became the personal coach of Zhansaya Abdumalik, helping her to improve her rating from 2172 to 2400. I really enjoy helping young players reach their potential.

About the lesson

- Developing an opening repertoire with both White and Black, helping players understand the moves through examples of classic opening ideas.

- Analysing the games of students to show their strengths and weaknesses, and to develop a specialized training plan for improving their tactics.

- Helping students to improve their board vision to identify weak squares, weak pawns, and to evaluate their position to make correct exchanges.

- Finding classic Grandmaster games that are most beneficial for each student's style of play.

Perfect! It is incredibly clear that being a chess coach is not just David's job, but also his profession.

I have not been able to resume lessons due to personal circumstances, but I have still managed to take the resources, advice, and insights from our first lesson and derive a lot of value. I am an intermediate player and am currently closed to cracking 1600 elo for the first time due to David's help.

I am looking forward to resuming my lessons soon. 5 stars!

Perfect! Amazing Chess Coach! David explains Chess concepts in SIMPLE, easy language. Over several sessions, he clearly has helped me to understand White and Black ideas and plans for several openings, including QGD Variations. This was very important for me as I am now well equipped with non - theoretical knowledge that will help me to better progress from many more openings to stronger, solid middlegame positions that I enjoy playing with many high rated players. To top it off, David knows how to set homework and shares generous wisdom about valuable resources that can help to take your Chess abilities to the next level. I highly recommend David for Chess coaching to everyone of any Chess ability.

Fantastic instructor. David has a wealth of knowledge in chess that few have. I have enjoyed the lessons I have had with him and hope to continue my lessons with him on an ongoing basis. Definitely recommend David if anyone is looking for a chess instructor who is at a grandmaster level but is also able to teach beginners very competently.

Learn more about David

1) When did you start practicing? How did this passion come to you?
I started playing chess at age 5, my grandfather taught me. At age 6, I began chess school, and from age 9, I start showing success at it. I worked with a coach at that time, and did a lot of homework, spent many hours of traning, and it began to show significant results.
2) What artists or works inspire you the most?
I love reading and watching about great athletes who, no matter what, became the best on the planet.
3) What specific qualities or skills are required to be successful in this area?
Purposefulness, efficiency, not being afraid to take risks, never giving up, and always going for your goal.
4) What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone focus on creative projects?
If you have chosen a goal for yourself, then approach it with all your might. Do not waste your time and resources on diversions. Have a professional attitude. Make your name, and over time, your name will speak for itself.
5) How would you describe your passion? How do you feel?
I love to strive for victory, the satisfaction of taking 1st place, the feeling that you are the best! Or when you train a student and they achieve their own great success. Their joy, the joy in the eyes of their parents, this is a special feeling that I feel passionate about.
6) What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?
My unique methods and style of coaching has produced a long list of champions, including 3 youth world champions in 3 years.
7) Have you ever been surprised by a student; according to their abilities or their rapid progress?
Yes, of course. For example, one of my students once showed me something I thought he could not possibly know, and he showed it so confidently, it was as if he had always known it!
8) Being a super professional is an art! What's your secret?
Always keep improving on yourself, learning new material, and working on your professional skills. Studying new languages is also a good secret for keeping an active mind.
