"I have been working with Nikola for the past few years and have seen significant improvement in my play. His lessons are energetic, highly insightful, and he always makes you feel supported as a student. Through his thorough game analysis, he helped me break through many mental blocks that were hindering my improvement. I credit his coaching as one of the key factors that helped me finally surpass a 2000 USCF rating. I highly recommend Nikola to anyone looking for a coach who truly cares about each of his students and wants to see them succeed."

IM got 2 GM norms
"Nikola was the first coach I had in the master years of my playing career. He inspired me with his creativity and joy for the game. He taught me the importance of playing serious openings, and what it meant to show professionalism in chess. He is a very caring coach who knows how to have a good laugh, but also take the necessary steps when it comes to constructive criticism. I’m now an IM with 2 GM norms making my own pursuit of the GM title, and I am still very grateful for the confidence Nikola was able to instill in my play."
