Hi! I'm IM Mauricio Arias. If you're committed to improving your chess, I may be the coach for you! I am an expert in training adult improvers. I have some spots available at the moment.
I am also a FIDE Trainer and FIDE America Education Commission Secretary. 

I grew up in Costa Rica and knew nothing about chess as a child. I began playing at a local club in my adolescence (around sixteen, quite old for chess). I learned many lessons in chess the hard way, which makes me the perfect teacher for adults and teenagers. I understand the unique form of someone who started playing chess seriously past his childhood.

Over time, I became an International Chess Master, a 2-time National Champion of Costa Rica, and a successful chess coach.

As a coach, my easygoing demeanor, patience, and attention to my students have helped me to connect with them, and I am pretty proud of my success in helping my students to improve.

In my career, in the days before the pandemic, some of my students reached FIDE Master titles. With fewer OBT events and the explosion of online chess, I have focused more on teaching in this new reality. Most of my students were beginners at chess when we first met. Even so, in the last few years, many of my students went from beginner level to a +2000 rating online and OTB. 

My rate is $40 for the lesson (one hour each). I only have a few spots left. But if you are interested in long-term classes and want to improve, message me. We will figure it out.

Best luck!

Mauricio
