  • 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 ICC, Playchess & ChessRex.com.
    Teaching experience – 24 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 – yelena@yelenadembo.com).

  • 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 yelena@yelenadembo.com 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.

  • 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 yelena@yelenadembo.com 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!
