♟️ Bernardo Cesar Maestre — International Master
🏆 Peak Elo: 2414
I am an International Master with years of experience coaching students of all levels, from ambitious beginners to strong competitive players 📈. Over the years, I have helped my students break personal barriers, improve their understanding of the game, and achieve concrete rating and performance goals ♜.
At the same time, I am actively studying and training to become a Grandmaster ♚. This dual perspective as both a coach and a high-level competitor allows me to clearly identify what holds players back and how to push beyond those limits 💡.
