"Logical and quick to think. These are two fundamental things. And chess teaches this very well. I can confirm by my own example. We need to count faster than others, so I absolutely clearly recommend playing chess for 5 years to anyone who sees himself as a businessman"
Sergey Galitsky, businessman, billionaire, public figure, founder and co-owner (until 2018) of the largest retail chain Magnit, president and owner of the Krasnodar football club
"Chess is more than a game or a mental training. It is a distinct attainment. I have always regarded the playing of chess and the accomplishment of a good game as an art, and something to be admired no less than an artist's canvas or the product of a sculptor's chisel. Chess is a mental diversion rather than a game. It is both artistic and scientific"
Raul Capablanca, Cuban chess player, 3rd world chess champion, chess writer, diplomat
"Chess is a unique combination of science, sport and art"
Anatoly Karpov, Soviet and Russian chess player, 12th world chess champion, deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the VI and VII convocations, member of the State Duma committee on international affairs
The first trial class is free!
Why chess?
1. Game
"With the help of chess I raised my character"
Alexander Alekhin, 4th world chess champion

"A person who plays chess turns out to be better prepared for life situations"
Mikhail Moiseevich Botvinnik, 6th world chess champion, engineer and computer scientist, Honored Worker of Culture of the RSFSR, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR. Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor

"What is our life?
A game!"

(Opera "The Queen of Spades") Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Russian composer, teacher, conductor and music critic

Even the smallest can learn to play chess! It's fun and exciting! Classes are held for kids from 3 years old. Chess is a pleasant pastime, entertainment and fun with which you can relax, unwind and have fun, as well as a way to distract yourself from other thoughts.
2. Sport
"Chess is like basketball... sometimes you also have to spin around the basket for a long time before throwing the ball"
Robert James Fischer, American grandmaster and eleventh world chess champion, inventor of time control and Fischer's random chess

This game is not called a sport for nothing. There are 2 sides, 2 minds fighting here. There are clear international rules, systems governing them, federations, categories and titles, there are systems for assessing the level of the game, there are tournaments, their fans and spectators. There are various tactical and strategic techniques and types that you need to know for a successful fight. To reach the heights in chess, a sports approach, training, discipline and willpower are important.
3. Science
"For me, science is like a game of chess"
Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, Russian scientist-encyclopedist: chemist, physicochemist, physicist, metrologist, economist, technologist, geologist, meteorologist, oilman, teacher, teacher, aeronaut, instrument-maker

Chess is also called a science. The same techniques are used here. Here you also need to collect information, make observations, ask questions, formulate a hypothesis, develop and test a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, compare, summarize, confirm or refute a hypothesis, and so on.

A game of chess is a study dedicated to all chess moves and their subtleties. The chess game must be played according to clear rules. Chess is closely related to science, there is theory and practice. Determining the next move in chess is the same as solving a scientific problem. Chess, like doing science, contributes to the development of the ability to generalize and highlight what is important, analyze and systematize, find patterns and establish cause-and-effect relationships, reason and draw conclusions.

It is not for nothing that many scientists, mathematicians, physicists, economists, managers, computer scientists and philosophers became famous chess players or simply loved chess, for example, Emanuel Lasker, Mikhail Botvinnik, Anatoly Karpov, Albert Einstein, Dmitry Mendeleev, Isaac Newton, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, Vladimir Lenin, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Gates and many others.
4. Art
"Chess is first of all art"
Mikhail Nekhemievich Tal, Soviet and Latvian chess player, grandmaster, eighth world chess champion, journalist, editor-in-chief of the "Chess" magazine

"The secret of my success is, first of all, my exceptional devotion to the art of chess"
Robert James Fischer, American grandmaster and eleventh world chess champion, inventor of time control and Fischer's random chess

Chess as an art is the realization of thought. It's the art of creating beautiful, gorgeous, unusual combinations and designs that have lived and amazed fans for centuries. This is an intuition that unexpectedly prompted in time how to walk, or a calculation that gave a tremendous victory or a tragic loss. Moreover, even the loser is the author of the work, and goes down in history with the winner along with their work. Playing or watching a game of chess is a pleasure, especially if an outstanding professional is playing. Mikhail Tal, with his approach to chess like this, is a great example of how chess can be approached as an art!
Chess refers to the art of not only two sides, but one. In chess there are composers, as in music, and studies, as in theater, in painting, literature and music, which remain in history and admire to this day. Therefore, chess can be ranked among the visual arts and the performing arts.

Also, chess is reflected in the cultural, artistic, philosophical and other types of creativity of many peoples of the world and famous personalities.

For example, A.S. Pushkin for the last 11 years of his life played chess with interest, for which there are many confirmations. To his wife, whom Pushkin also taught to play, in 1832 he wrote: "Thank you, my soul, for learning to play chess. This is indispensable for every comfortable family"

Why is a coach or trainer required?
1. With a coach, you will be able to achieve results much faster, save a lot of time and effort with the help of accurate setting, technique adjustments and the ability to use the necessary and effective exercises
It is very difficult to make progress while playing chess, and there are at least 3 reasons for this: lack of understanding of what and how to do, use of unnecessary and ineffective exercises and simulators, lack of technique correction from the outside. If you neglect these rules, then you can learn the wrong technique, which sooner or later will negatively affect not only the result, but also the attitude to training. Also, thanks to his many years of experience, knowledge, abilities and skills, a coach explains very difficult things with the most simple and familiar words and concepts from other areas of life, which allows you to progress faster and better.
2. A coach creates the necessary and effective individual program for you
People who try to exercise on their own without help simply do not have the required methodological knowledge to develop the necessary, effective individual training program and multi-year plan. A coach helps you set the right goals, objectives and priorities for you individually, thanks to his many years of experience, knowledge, skills and abilities to achieve your goals at the lowest cost.
3. A coach correctly and accurately measures your load during the class
If you give yourself a small or medium load during training, then this will not be enough for further progress. If you make a big load, the nervous system will be overstrained, and you will quickly get tired and not want to train anymore, spoil your attitude to training and chess, stop practicing, which will throw you back, and you will most likely never want to again. train and play chess. All this must be taken into account, what a coach can do, thanks to his knowledge, abilities and skills and many years of experience.
4. A coach helps to maintain regular training and achieve the desired result
The desire to achieve something is not enough - efforts are always needed, even for small progress. You need to train systematically to be successful. A coach objectively evaluates the current work and results, which helps to keep going. Sometimes you want to skip a workout because you are in a bad mood or overjoyed, for example, due to the weather or other events. If you know what a coach is waiting for you, then try to pack up and come to training.
5. With a coach you will always have a great interest in chess
A coach sets you up, motivates and stimulates correctly so that you are not distracted, you can find the strength that will improve your knowledge, abilities and skills from time to time and eventually lead to the desired result. If necessary, a coach will help you to accomplish the feat in training! Interest in training is one of the most important points to success. It is very difficult to maintain interest in classes for a long time alone, sometimes it is simply impossible. Thanks to his knowledge, abilities and skills, as well as experience, a coach will make your program variable and varied, which will always allow you to train with great interest and enthusiasm.
6. A coach will help establish habits throughout life
Chess coach helps their students achieve their goals, but they also help them reevaluate the way they view many areas of their lives and society. He helps to understand that intellectual and emotional development decides in the modern world and it is necessary to adopt lifelong learning, since the development of everything around is going on at a tremendous pace, and the requirements are growing. A coach helps their students understand that intellectual and emotional development should be one of the first in their lives to achieve success, not last. Some people struggle with a lack of qualities that will help them in their daily lives. A coach can create an appropriate workout regimen to help start moving towards proper development. A coach shows a methodology for achieving success that can be applied everywhere.

I learned to play chess at the age of 7. Began to study professionally from school, joining the chess section.

After a while, I already got chess category and successfully defended the honor of the school, and later my university in tournaments, for which I was repeatedly awarded.

Studying at the university, I managed to win in the final of the Open International Student Internet Olympiad in "Informatics" in the profile "Economics and Management". After graduating from university, I decided to become a coach and head of the chess section, because I wanted everyone to know how wonderful this game is - chess, which in addition is a sport, science and art!

And now I have already brought up guys who can really show the class in the game with their peers and with their parents! My students take prizes, and I am always happy about their victories, because I understand how great it is!
