IM Irakli Akhvlediani

I am Irakli Akhvlediani, International Master, from Georgia. I'm an active, professional chess player. I've been playing chess for many years. Currently, I'm working as a chess coach.

I am a 7-time national champion. I won the European Solving Cup in the junior category and earned two silver medals at the European Junior Championships. I am also a winner and medalist of many international open chess tournaments, including the Portuguese chess circuit "Portugal Chess Tour 2022."

My chess coaching experience counts 5 years. I've been working with kids as well as adults.

I have worked several times as a commentator on Georgian Chess TV. In addition to chess, I have been working as an IT specialist for international companies.

As a teacher, I strive to be responsible, dedicated, and supportive. I truly love what I do and am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with my students. I place strong emphasis on chess theory and have had the privilege of assisting strong grandmasters in their theoretical preparation, which has further deepened my own understanding of the game. I aim to pass that insight on to my students in a clear and respectful way.

My approach to each student is fully individualized. I prioritize identifying their strengths and weaknesses in order to help them grow in a targeted and effective way. My teaching methodology covers all key aspects of chess—ranging from calculation techniques, basic strategic concepts, and theoretical endgames to structured opening preparation. My goal is to enrich each student’s chess understanding and enhance their overall thinking process.
