I play not so much these days, because I work on teaching and writing, but next year I hope to start again. In the last decade, I play first and second Croatian League on the first table and almost every year I was the best first table.

I work with chess players of all ages and strength for more than 15 years. All of them improve and some younger became the national champions under some ages.

I make the chess learning content for a great chess site "Chessable". For now, I make two books and work now on third. You can find them on the links before.
Also, I work for the other chess learning site, Remote Chess Academy.

I like to be balanced between aggression and positional play.

I always work individually and prepare for every student.
