About Albina
"Teaching chess satisfies my need for logical clarity and structural discipline. I recall the first time a student grasped the complexity of a deep endgame position.
This realization drives my pedagogical approach. I have mentored 490 students throughout my 11 years of experience.
My background as a PhD candidate in Pure Mathematics at the University of Chicago informs my analytical style. I specialize in pawn structures, board vision, and middlegame planning.
My instruction emphasizes blunder checking and tactical patterns for high-level play. You will find my approach focuses on positional understanding and precise piece coordination to ensure an 8.0 rating standard. I look forward to working on your game."

"Structure matters more than memorizing openings. Beginners often think they need to remember every move, but simple principles carry more weight. I track your progress by analyzing the specific decisions made during our practice games. My methods rely on 11 years of experience to identify where your intuition fails.
We examine your tactical patterns to find consistent gaps in your logic. You will learn to evaluate the board from a fresh perspective.
I keep the process grounded and clear. Many students find the challenge of midgame planning quite satisfying once they understand the underlying geometry of the pieces. You will enjoy the intellectual rigor of these sessions."
