Rapid Growth Through Personalized Chess Coaching -
What My Students Have to Say
Selimhan
16 years, from 1200 to 2150 in 3 years
I have worked with Jonas for many years - We worked on basics, positional, strategic topics first, but nowadays he helps me with opening preparation, game analysis and more advanced topics.
I could improve my FIDE rating from 1200 in 2022 to 2176 in 2025.
No matter which level, I can fully recommend Jonas as a coach.
Elias
Adult Improver, ELO 1800
I was a bit overwhelmed by the offer of training possibilities online and could not decide where to start, so I reached out to Jonas.
Together we checked some of my games and he told me what topics to work on.
Meanwhile we have regular sessions for game analysis, answering questions and keeping track of the progress.
I highly recommend his coaching!
