I specialize in simplifying complex concepts and teaching players how to truly understand chess rather than memorize it. Improve quickly through rules and principles that have stood the test of time! Over the past 6 years, I've had the privilege of coaching 181 students from 31 countries, each with their own style and goals. I also share educational videos on my LionChess YouTube channel, where I break down strategy in a simple, relatable way. It has always been my dream to help people reach their dreams and goals, and I can happily say I'm living that dream through chess! 🙂 Chess coach Sandro Safar (FM) helping players improve their game through structured coaching.

Master the Player, Master the Board - Chess is a mirror of the mind. To achieve lasting improvement, we do not just fix the moves; we refine the decision-maker.

I want my students to awaken the same passion I have for the game and see their play improve naturally. Helping students discover who they are as players and how to win in their own way is what makes teaching chess rewarding for me!

Online Chess Coaching That Actually Works

Why Choose a Personal Chess Coach?

While chess engines and databases are powerful tools, nothing replaces the insight of a professional chess coach who understands your unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. Our platform connects you with titled players and certified instructors who provide personalized guidance to accelerate your chess improvement.

What You Get with Chessodoro

Every membership includes weekly game analysis from your coach, custom training plans built around your rating and goals, and direct messaging for ongoing support. Whether you're a beginner looking to break 1000, an intermediate player stuck at 1500, or an advanced player pushing for a FIDE title, our coaches create a structured path for your improvement. No more wondering what to study next.

Asynchronous Coaching for Busy Schedules

Traditional chess lessons require scheduling video calls that don't always fit your life. Chessodoro's asynchronous model lets you learn on your own time. Submit your games when it's convenient, receive detailed analysis within days, and follow your training plan at your own pace. You get all the benefits of working with a professional coach without the scheduling headaches.

Our Philosophy

We believe the most effective way to improve at chess is through deliberate practice guided by expert feedback. Our coaches don't just point out mistakes — they help you understand the patterns, principles, and thought processes that lead to better moves. No matter how much our platform evolves, the coaches and your personal growth will always remain at the heart of Chessodoro.
