Meet Your Coach: Aleksa Alimpić, FIDE Master

My name is Aleksa Alimpić, and I am a FIDE Master with a peak Elo rating of 2313. I have been passionately involved in chess since the age of 8, earning my FIDE Master title at 17 and achieving numerous successes, including winning the Serbian Youth Championship. Over the years, I’ve competed in prestigious leagues and tournaments, and now, my greatest joy comes from sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation of chess players.

Why Chess?

Chess is more than just a game; it’s a tool for intellectual and personal development. Studies show that chess enhances critical thinking, problem-solving, concentration, and patience—skills that benefit children in all areas of life. Through chess, your child will learn to:

Think Strategically: Chess teaches planning and foresight, helping kids understand the consequences of their actions.

Develop Resilience: Losing a game becomes a valuable lesson in perseverance and adapting strategies.

Boost Academic Performance: The cognitive skills gained from chess often translate to better performance in math, reading, and science.

Build Confidence: Success on the chessboard fosters self-belief and independence.

Each child approaches chess from his own angle, and my coaching approach reflects this. Whether your child is a complete beginner or already has experience, I tailor lessons to suit their needs, personality, and goals. Here’s what you can expect:

A Friendly and Supportive Environment: Learning chess should be fun and enjoyable. I ensure each session is conducted in a positive atmosphere where your child feels encouraged and motivated.

Interactive Lessons: I use tools like Skype and Lichess studies to make lessons engaging and hands-on. Your child won’t just listen—they’ll actively participate and apply what they learn.

Customized Progress Plans: After assessing your child’s current skill level, I create a personalized roadmap to guide their improvement step by step.

Homework and Feedback: To reinforce learning, I provide carefully designed exercises and constructive feedback, helping your child progress steadily and confidently.
