About me
I am 25 year old Grand Master from Poland.
Playing experience
I am playing chess for about 17 years (3/4 of my life :D). My biggest achievement was second place in WYCC under 18 (2018). I also ended second on EYCC 2016. I have more than 20 medals in national competitions
Teaching experience
I started as a coach for my voievodship in Poland back in 2017. Right now I have a Polish Coaching Certificate and I work for the biggest coaching group in Poland - team ostre-debiuty. Check out my full offer on the website :)

Other experiences
I am a curret main streamer for ostre-szachy, a twitch channel based on chess topics.
Best skills
My playstyle was mostly dependent on some sharp positions, such as Dragon, Najdorf, and other Sicilian-style positions. Nowadays I am trying to play some solid openings. I can easily teach you, how to look for some dynamic chances in very solid openings
Teaching methodology
First of all, I am always trying to make some research, to check what kind of chessplayer you are. Then I am preparing some ideas and opening novelties that are based on your openings. I am mostly communicating by Skype/discord or some chess platforms, such as Lichess, but I am also fine with talking on Messenger.
