This man taught me how to play chess! I am so grateful to him! Delightful learning plan!
Highly recommend Nick as your first chess tutor!!!

I started learning chess with Nikita as a complete beginner, and I couldn’t recommend him more. He has a really clear plan to cover all the basics step by step, which makes the game easy to understand and fun to learn. Nikita is patient, explains ideas in a simple way, and always gives great recommendations on which chess content to watch between lessons. One of the most helpful experiences was when we analyzed one of my early games together — he showed me not just what went wrong, but how to think ahead in future positions. If you’re looking for a teacher who makes chess approachable and motivating, Nikita is the right choice.
