Master chess and sharpen your decision-making skills with expert guidance from a former diplomat. Learn strategies that go beyond the board to elevate your life!

I earned the title of FIDE Master while simultaneously pursuing a successful diplomatic career, balancing both my professional and chess passions. I've won numerous Blitz, Rapid, and classical tournaments in Macedonia and internationally. Even while living abroad, I never stepped away from the game, representing clubs such as Metz Fischer (France), Dudelange (Luxembourg), Bredene (Belgium), and Wurselen (Germany). Over the years, I've built strong friendships with renowned grandmasters like Alexander Beliavsky, Boris Gelfand, and Vladimir Potkin, enriching my chess journey.

In my early years I trained pioneers from Bitola leading them to win the Macedonian championship and compete in former yugoslav final. I also worked with Vlatko Bogdanovski (now GM), Lidija Sofrevska who won many championships of Macedonia and Blagoja Gicev one of our brightest chess talents. Later, while leaving abroad, I worked with young players from Metz Fischer, Dudelange and Bredene. Many diplomats have discovered the love for chess through my lessons, combining strategic thinking with the joy of the game.
