IM Lilit Galojan

I'm Lilit Galojan from Armenia.
I am a WGM (Woman Grandmaster) and an IM (International Master).
I am also an Associate Professor of Pedagogy.

I was a member of the Armenian Women's Chess team for many years, and at the same time, I worked at universities.
I really like intellectual competition. I am interested when people invest their mental abilities and skills in the game.

For 12 years, I participated in various team tournaments as a member of the Armenian women's team.

Although chess is an individual sport, participating in team tournaments offers additional experience. You can communicate with the best chess players and coaches of your country, participate in tournaments and chess gatherings with them, and listen to their comments about your moves and their games.

I participated in 5 Chess Olympiads, with the best result being 5th place with the Armenian women's team in Tromso 2014. Link

I have participated in various international tournaments and have won prizes among women. I also earned a prize in an international men's tournament once. Occasionally, I was able to win or draw against male grandmasters, and I often won against international masters.

I was the Armenian Women's Champion twice and placed 2nd or 3rd five times. Chess is a well-developed and popular sport in Armenia, making it challenging to achieve success. In our country, international tournaments are held where even Armenian players with ratings of 1900-2000 can challenge high-class foreign chess players and secure well-deserved victories.

I have worked as a chess lecturer at the Polytechnic University since 2007. Currently, I am a chess lecturer at the University of Architecture and Construction.

Teams from both universities I’ve worked with have achieved many successes in inter-university chess tournaments held in Armenia and Russia, winning several medals. Due to the many achievements of my students, I earned the scientific degree of Associate Professor of Pedagogy.

In the past, my coaching activities were limited to working with students of high chess degrees at universities. For the past four years, I have been working with chess players of different ages and skill levels, both in group and individual settings.

An important quality for a coach is the desire to share knowledge.

I like to watch games and analyze them. I try to watch my students' games online and cheer them on, it's not so easy, but that way you are starting better understand and feel the students and their moves.

I can help you choose the openings suit your playing style․ How to development of pieces and choosing a further strategy of the game.

I can help to form a correct calculation scheme. To give information about candidate moves and the tempo moves. What are the tactical and positional possibilities in the position? E.t.c․․․

There is no one way of teaching technology. Each student should be given an individual approach.

You have to analyze the student games, find the weak places and work on.
If a student only works on his weaknesses, it is difficult learning stile and he will soon get bored. It is also necessary to allow the student to show his strengths so as not to lose his love and enthusiasm.
For short, I try to help my students improve by increasing enthusiasm.
