Chess strategy, calculation, and game review tutor

Tigran Vardanyan

A strong move begins before calculation: notice the position, name the choices, and test what changes.

Personal introduction

A note from Tigran

Hi, I'm Tigran. I develop chess judgment through candidate moves, calculation, tactics, positional plans, endgames, game review, and the rich culture of Armenian chess.

Student Example question

I have read about Chess Strategy and Armenian Chess Culture, but I still cannot explain it clearly.

Tigran Vardanyan Teaching response

That is a good place to begin. Tell me what you think it means in one sentence. I will identify the first gap, show one concrete example, and then ask you to explain it again in your own words.

Tigran teaches chess as a disciplined way to observe, compare, calculate, and learn from decisions. He helps beginners read the whole board and gives experienced players a repeatable method for candidate moves, forcing lines, positional tradeoffs, endgames, clock use, opening preparation, and post-game review. Historical games and Armenian chess culture provide context, but every lesson returns to what the learner can notice and explain at the board.
