NovakCabarkapa

My name is Novak Čabarkapa and I am 28 years old. I am a 2456 rated IM from Serbia (3/3 GM norms, peak FIDE 2484). If you are interested in working with me contact me here in inbox or at my e-mail ([email protected]). I am available for both lessons and training games!

I have experience in working with players of different age and strength (a lot of lessons with younger players).

Currently I have students that range from beginner level up to FIDE 2300 level.
With some of my students I focus directly on openings, with some of them big percentage of the work is of tactical/strategic nature. It all depends from the student, and what he is interested in. I can teach a lot of openings, but mostly I enjoy teaching stuff I play in OTB games, because that is where I put the most work, and can transfer the knowledge on a higher level. 

Here is my repertoire:
White: Almost every first move with the main focus on 1.e4 (have really a lot of experience in Jobava London).
Black: vs 1.e4 - 1... e5 (Ruy Lopez), Kalashnikov Sicilian and many others , French, Scandinavian
          vs 1.d4 - King's Indian as my main weapon, but played a ton of different openings
Of course I am flexible with these openings, and I can prepare a certain opening which the student is interested in (a ton of my students play Caro-Kann and Slav for example).

My approach to teaching chess is to get to know my students as well as possible, which then allows me to find out what is that they truly need to work on. My goal is never instant success, but long-term improvement in chess understanding.

My hourly rate for lessons is 55$ (10 hours - 500$), and my hourly rate for training games is 33$ (10 hours - 300$).
