About Arnaldo Fernandez de la Vara Mulet

I'm an International Master with a FIDE rating over 2500 as well as a USCF rating of 2500+ and 10+ years of coaching experience. I have a very important career working with kids and students of all ages as well. I’ve helped students go from beginner to 2300+ through personalized, structured training focused on tactics, strategy, and opening prep. I also hold 3000+ bullet ratings on Lichess and Chess.com, with strong results vs titled players. I use top tools like ChessBase and live analysis boards to keep every lesson clear, efficient, and engaging.

I’m incredibly grateful to my chess coach for his patience, dedication, and passion for teaching. His clear explanations and constant encouragement helped me understand the game on a deeper level and believe in my own abilities. Thanks to his guidance and training, I won my first tournament, which is something I am very proud of. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their chess skills and enjoy the game even more

I booked a class with Arnaldo for my husband as an anniversary present. It was a great experience! My husband loved the tips that were given and enjoyed the instruction. Thank you!

Arnaldo has been AMAZING working with my 16 year old son who moved up to first baord in chess this year and was struggling with the adjustment of always playing the top players. Arnaldo is not only helping his game tremendously but has helped him get hos confidence back up after he was seriously doubting himself. He has been amazing, kind and is an incredible teacher with more than fair prices for his skill level! Thank you Arnaldo! We look forward to a lot more sessions with you soon!

I contacted him thinking he worked at a place where I could take my son, but the classes are online and the address is very far from where I live. Very kind, very professional. Thank you for the attention.
