  • Looking for lessons?

    I charge US$ 25 per hour, US$ 100 for 5 hours or US$ 200 for 10 hours, if one purchases them in advance.
    Lessons happen on Playchess & ChessRex.com. I use Teams and Google Meet.
    Teaching experience – 26 years. Students’ level ranges from beginners to players with 2400 ELO (IMs as well).

    My mom Nadezhda Fokin (Israeli Women’s Champion, 3rd board in 1992 Chess Olympiad, Soviet Women’s Master) charges US$ 20 for 1 hour (payments via my PayPal e-mail – [email protected]).

  • Game analysis with verbal comments and suggestions on what to improve and how

    Easy improvement – detailed analysis of your games done by an International Master. I charge US$ 10 per game or US$ 35 for 5 games. Analysis can be sent by pgn, html, cbv formats.

  • Just US$ 5 for monthly subscription to weekly e-mails with middlegame/endgame material

    Send US$ 5 to [email protected] on Paypal and get 10 game fragments on middlegame/endgame every week. Studying these themes helps to find plans, ideas, build strategies 15-35 moves into the game. It is very important to study these themes as the middlegame is where most players get into time pressure or just cannot find a plan. Material can be sent in pgn, cbv, html, pdf formats.

  • Don’t know how to study chess or what to study to improve?

    Check out the study material pages or e-mail me at [email protected].

  • Just US$ 5 for monthly subscription to fresh opening ideas & updated theoretical lines sent weekly by e-mail!

    Check out https://yelenadembo.com/archives/6242 and https://yelenadembo.com/material-for-sale or e-mail me at [email protected] for info!

  • Want to learn to play the middlegame or endgame well?

    I have a collection of over 40 thousand examples. It is very important to study these themes as the middlegame is where most players get into time pressure or just cannot find a plan.
    Prices: each annotated example costs 20 cents, so 10 examples cost 2 euros, etc. Send payment to [email protected] on PayPal to get the examples by e-mail in cbv, pgn, html formats.

  • Special price for middlegame books with very interesting verbal explanations

    My first chess book, “The Very Unusual Book About Chess” – ONLY 15 euros with postage and packaging included. Detailed explanation of tactical methods.
    My second book is titled “Conversation with a Professional Trainer – Methods of Positional Play” – ONLY 15 euros with postage and packaging included. Detailed explanation of positional ideas and methods!
    Naturally both books can be signed and dedicated! Can be bought as presents for friends and family!
