NM Daria Khokhlova

I am a National Master. I have three Woman International Master norms.

I have been playing chess since 2007. Prize-winner and winner of national championships and international tournaments, winner of awards from the Russian Cup stages, participant of the world championships in rapid chess and blitz.

I have been a chess coach since 2015. Among my students there is a champion of the federal district, as well as winners and prize-winners of regional championships.

In 2020, I became a sports judge of the first category in chess.
I run the YouTube channel “Daring chess” where I simultaneously play and comment on my games, and also publish training videos.

The development of strong-willed qualities is what I owe to chess. They became a tool for me, with the help of which I gained confidence, endurance, and the ability to concentrate on the task at hand and achieve my goal. When working with students, my goal is to help them develop the character traits they need to succeed.

To make the learning process interesting, I use imaginative thinking. Associations, comparisons, unusual metaphors are what help make learning the material as exciting as possible.
