About Sven
With 7 years of chess coaching experience, my approach balances technical instruction with practical, real-time application. I’ve worked with learners ranging from casual enthusiasts to competitive players, helping each one refine their style, strengthen weaknesses, and understand the game more deeply. My own training includes years of club play, regional competitions, and advanced strategy studies. I believe chess is both a science and an art—requiring discipline, imagination, and problem-solving. My lessons reflect this by combining structured drills with game-based learning and discussion. I teach students not only how to play strong moves, but why each move matters within the broader flow of the game. I focus on helping players recognise patterns, manage their mindset, and improve both short- and long-term planning. Above all, I aim to foster independent thinkers—players who can learn from their losses, analyse critically, and adapt with intelligence. My style is encouraging but honest, structured but fun. I provide clear goals and progression paths, ensuring every student builds skills that are not only effective at the board but also transferable to real-life decision-making and focus.

This chess programme in Glasgow is crafted for students ready to elevate their strategic thinking and tactical execution. Lessons cover the full chess journey—from basic mechanics and notation to advanced concepts like piece coordination, pawn structure, and long-term planning. The course begins with foundational tactics (pins, forks, discovered attacks) and opening principles, gradually transitioning into deep positional evaluation and endgame control. Students are exposed to classical games, model openings, and real-match scenarios. We break down grandmaster games to extract practical lessons and build intuition. Lessons often include timed puzzles, simulated matches, and strategy discussions to sharpen both calculation and board vision. Each topic is revisited through repetition and variation, allowing knowledge to move from theory into real-time performance. One-on-one attention ensures progress is consistent, with individual feedback after each game. Lessons also focus on psychological elements—handling pressure, time management, and resilience after mistakes. The overall goal is not just to win games, but to become a thoughtful, strategic player who can read positions with clarity and react with confidence. Whether you’re aiming for tournament play or personal mastery, this course builds a complete chess foundation.
