ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Peter Kokol and chess is my life’s passion.

I was an active player between 1998 and 2012, and while I achieved the FM title, I was also giving my first lessons at my hometown chess club ŽŠK Maribor in Slovenia. There I had a great privilege to work with a grandmaster and FIDE’s Trainer’s Chairman Adrian Mikhalchishin, which helped me realize teaching chess and promoting the value of the game everywhere I go, is my life’s calling.

Soon after I devoted myself full-time to teaching chess. In the last 10 years, I have been working with many talented students on an individual and group class level. I started in Slovenian elementary schools and recently worked in Shanghai, China, where I moved in 2017. Since then I have also trained many students via online lessons, which gave me a privilege to work with children and adults from the USA, Hong Kong, and many other parts of the world.

If you are looking for someone to help you or your child improve the skills of the game of chess, don’t hesitate to contact me for a FREE DEMO lesson.

What students say

Peter has been teaching me for more than two and a half years. As a teacher, he is very nice, patient, humorous and has a thorough knowledge of chess. I have learned many chess skills from him through these years and have consequently made significant improvements. He always checks my homework carefully and supplies me a wide variety of chess knowledge. He cares about my growth and current competitions very much. I started to win awards in some highly competitive chess tournaments since he taught me. I am looking forward to learning more from Peter in the future!

My chess teacher Peter is a really good teacher. He thought me many openings. He always plays on chess.com, and sends games that he won to me. He also thought me many tactics, and how to use them. Once I went to Hangzhou on a chess tournament, and he came to visit me and corrected my games there. He is one of my best chess teachers.

I returned to chess later in life after a long hiatus, and Peter has helped me rediscover my love for the game trough his teaching and his own passion for chess. He is a creative and attacking player at the board and infuses the same spirit into our lessons. Peter has been my chess coach for more than a year now, and together we have worked to build an active repertoire for me with both the white and black pieces. I really enjoy playing the lines recommended by him as he makes chess fun. Our lessons are based on the study of classical and modern master games to understand how important chess concepts are applied in practical play with lots of exercises to reinforce learning points and to improve my calculation and tactics. Peter has analyzed many of my games and helped me to look at my own play critically to identify the gaps in my chess understanding that we then work on together. He is also generous in sharing many of his own instructive games. My chess has been transformed since Peter became my coach and if you are fortunate enough to work with Peter then I strongly believe that you are already on the path to chess success.
