The Story
Hi, I'm Dani.
For the past 7 or 8 years, I've been traveling the world full-time.
My love for chess started in Berlin's vibrant cafés (thanks, Artur!). Ever since, I've been hooked, looking forward to games with strangers and connecting through chess wherever I land.
Teaching happened gradually. First a game with a friend who had never played. Then another. At some point I noticed that people who got one good hour of coaching improved faster than people who had been watching YouTube tutorials for months. So I started teaching properly.
My background is in technology and workshop facilitation. I've spent years figuring out how people actually learn: how to get things to stick, not just how to present them. Those skills go straight into the lessons.
Chess connects people. I've seen it happen in cafés from Berlin to Medellín. That's the thing I'm trying to pass on.
