I will push your chess rating higher through sparring
Rafael Medina
About this gig
Train against a FIDE Master, in English or Spanish
Playing against stronger opponents is one of the fastest ways to improve, but only if someone shows you what went wrong.
That's what these sparring sessions are for.
How it works:
1. We play training games at the time control you choose.
2. I adapt my level and play style to challenge you without crushing you.
3. After the games, we review the key moments so you know what to fix.
Great for:
- Practicing before a tournament
- Testing your openings against real opposition
- Building confidence and calculation under pressure
- Players who want more than games against random opponents online
We play on Lichess, Chess.com or your preferred platform. Not sure which package fits you? Send me a message with your rating and goals.
Let's play!

Hi, I’m a FIDE Master who teaches chess in a fun, engaging way while building focus, structured thinking, and problem solving skills. My lessons are lively, personalized, and designed to make children and adults think better, enjoy the game, and grow their minds. Chess is more than a game... It’s smart, exciting, and empowering. If you want your child or yourself to learn, have fun, and truly improve, I’d love to work with you.
FAQ
What time control do we play?
Your choice: blitz, rapid or classical. Rapid (10 to 15 minutes) usually works best for training.
Will you go easy on me?
I adapt to your level so the games are challenging but instructive, never a one-sided crush.
Is this the same as a lesson?
No. Sparring focuses on playing real games and reviewing them. If you want structured lessons, check my coaching gig.
