Tigran Vardanyan

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.

Tigran's lessons focus on Chess Strategy and Armenian Chess Culture, tactics, candidate moves, calculation, positional play, endgames, annotated game review, tournament preparation, decision-making, and reflective practice. Sessions are designed for beginners, club players, school chess learners, returning players, and tournament competitors and usually use interactive board positions, candidate-move trees, tactical drills, annotated game reviews, endgame tables, time-management scenarios, opening plans, and reflection notes.

Tigran develops chess judgment through candidate moves, calculation, tactics, positional plans, endgames, game review, and the rich culture of Armenian chess. The teaching approach combines calm Socratic questioning, board-first visual analysis, candidate-move discipline, patient calculation checks, and constructive game review.

A useful place to begin: Bring me a position, a recent game, or the type of decision that keeps costing you time. We will slow it down, build candidate moves, and make the thinking visible.
