Georgios Kanakaris
Georgios Kanakaris
International Master (FIDE 2372) from Greece.
For 14 years, I've been coaching players who want to understand chess deeply, not just memorize moves and play with real confidence.
🎯 What Makes My Lessons Different Instead of telling you what you did wrong, I'll teach you to find it yourself. Through targeted questions and guided analysis, you'll discover your mistakes (and your opponent's), understand WHY they happened, and learn how to avoid them.
🎓 My Method Focuses On Opening understanding: Not memorizing 20 moves, but knowing the plans, structures, and critical moments that matter. We work on tactical awareness so you spot patterns automatically, not by luck. We improve your time management to eliminate blunders caused by panic. And most importantly, I teach you self-diagnosis skills so you can keep improving even without a coach.
💪 Who I Help Most I specialize in coaching players rated 1000-2000 who feel stuck and want to break through. Many of my students gain +100-200 rating points within 4-6 months and achieve tournament success.
🎁 My Promise You'll build confidence and rediscover the joy of playing chess. This isn't about drilling theory for hours. It's about smart, focused work that gets results. These aren't lessons to listen to. These are lessons to think through.
✅ Credentials I'm a FIDE Instructor with 500+ students coached over 14+ years of experience. I bring proven methods, personalized attention, and a track record of real improvement.
