Hi! I am Peter Kokol and chess is my life’s passion.
I was an active player between 1998 and 2012, and while I achieved the FM title, I was also giving my first lessons at my hometown chess club ŽŠK Maribor in Slovenia. There I had a great privilege to work with a grandmaster and FIDE’s Trainer’s Chairman Adrian Mikhalchishin, which helped me realize teaching chess and promoting the value of the game everywhere I go, is my life’s calling.
In the past 10 years, I have been working with many talented students on an individual and group class level.
