How chess coaching works on Silhouette
Select chess in the coaching catalogue to browse the available coaches. Their profiles show their services, playing strength, the languages they speak and reviews from previous students.
Book a session through the platform and work on whatever you choose — reviewing your games, drilling tactics, or building an opening repertoire. Browsing is free and you pay per session.
What a good chess coach helps you fix
Most improvement below club level comes from tactics and blunder-checking rather than opening theory. A coach reviews your losses and shows you the pattern behind them, which is usually the same handful of mistakes repeating.
As you improve, sessions shift towards endgames, planning in quiet positions, and a repertoire that suits how you like to play. Bring your recent games to the session — they are the most useful material a coach can work from.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a chess coach on Silhouette?
Browse the chess coaches, check their profile, playing strength, languages and reviews, then book a session that fits your level and goals.
How much does chess coaching cost?
Each coach sets their own price per session. Browsing profiles is free and there is no subscription.
What should I work on as a beginner?
Usually tactics, basic endgames and not hanging pieces — a coach can confirm your specific weakness by reviewing a few of your games.
Do I need to prepare anything before a session?
Bringing two or three recent games, especially losses, makes the session much more productive than starting from scratch.
Can a coach guarantee a rating increase?
No. A coach gives you targeted feedback and a study plan; your rating depends on the work you put in afterwards.
