NM Luca Varriale

Looking for chess lessons with excellent quality? I'm Luca Varriale, an AI Engineer from Italy. I'm excited to provide chess lessons for players rated up to 2000 FIDE.  Sessions can be conducted in English or Italian, with different formats and packages to suit your needs. If you're keen to explore, let's connect and start our chess journey together! DM me or contact me at lucavarriale9@gmail.com.

In addition to being an active tournament player, I am also a chess instructor. This dual role allows me to stay constantly up to date with the latest trends, strategies, and training methods. As a result, during our sessions I not only cover the technical aspects of the game but also focus on practical and psychological preparation — essential elements for competitive improvement.
