My name is Arman Geivondian, I am 20 years old. Live, study and play chess in Russia.
FM since 2015, Russian Master since 2016.
Living a difficult life of student, I don't have much possibility to participate in international tournaments, but I'm surely studying hard to achieve the IM title=)
About me
Playing experience
Like any other player I have some games I'm proud of, but the most memorable ones are a win against former Women's World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk (Moscow Blitz Championship) and a draw against Men's World Chess Championship Magnus Carlsen (in my dreams. In reality that was just a sim xD)

Teaching methodology
I started studying chess at age 7. Seemed to be a really talented player till age 10, but then stuck at 1950-2100 point for 2-3 years.
Then I started to attend IM Yanvarjov's lessons...
Next 2 years my rating was constantly going down and soon hit the 1900 checkpoint.
2 years later I succesfully broke the '2300' wall and became a FM.
For me my own story is a vivid example of "good" and "bad" coaching in chess. When reaching fast result is a spot, you will always stuck at some point. It isn't a rough patch, a bad luck - it's your limit.
But when you are looking for deep understanding, do a lot of hard work studying classical heritage, you will never rich the limit!
So I see my mission in guiding you along the correct way like my own coach does.
