GM Tornike Sanikidze

Hello everyone ! I am Tornike Sanikidze. I live in Tbilisi, Georgia. I have been working as a chess coach and have 15years of experience in teaching. I've also been playing actively in many tournaments during my career.

I adapt my lessons based on each student's strengths and weaknesses. I can help in all aspects of the game including middlegames, opening analyses, and how to find the right plan in each type of position.

'Teaching experience''

I have 14 years of experience in teaching. My first big result as a coach was 11 years ago, when I was the main coach of the Georgian Women's National team at the Olympiads in 2008. They got the gold cup and became Olympic champions! http://chess-results.com/tnr16315.aspx?lan=1&art=0&rd=11&flag=30

Afterwards, I worked with many famous international chess players, and had also several young students that took medals in European and World Youth championships.
