CHESS COACH

Meet adnan Sitnic

FIDE Candidate Master · Chess Instructor

With more than two decades dedicated to chess, I’ve gained extensive experience both competing and teaching. I’ve competed at national and international level, including national youth championships, open tournament victories, and major European and World youth competitions.

Today, I focus on helping players improve through understanding rather than memorization. My approach combines game analysis, tactical training, strategic thinking, and practical positions — always adapted to the player’s level, goals, and playing style.

Whether you’re taking your first steps in chess or looking to compete at a higher level, my goal is simple: help you understand the game better, make stronger decisions, and become a more confident player.

What my students say about me

I’ve been taking chess lessons with Adnan for a while now and I’m very happy with the experience. The lessons are always interesting and easy to follow. Ive improved my understanding of the game, especially in strategy and thinking more carefully about my moves. Adnan explains the ideas clearly and takes time to make sure everything makes sense. I always feel encouraged to ask questions. I would definitely recommend Adnan to anyone who wants to learn or improve while enjoying the process.

Game Against Magnus

My game against the greatest chess player ever

I had the honor of playing an online chess game against World Champion Magnus Carlsen in the “Titled Tuesday” tournament, an event open exclusively to titled players.

The time control was five minutes per player for the entire game, making it a fast-paced blitz tournament.

I held my own well through the first 19 moves. The position shown in the image was reached after Magnus’ 19th move. By exchanging queens, I would have entered a roughly equal endgame with good chances of securing a draw. Unfortunately, I chose to avoid the queen exchange, after which Carlsen gained a significant advantage and converted it comfortably.

This was a great opportunity to test myself against the best chess player in the history.
