Tadas’ grandfather taught him how to play chess. Later, he has joined the local chess club in Lithuania, where he learned different chess openings, tactics and combinations. He was really inspired into the game, therefore, he has started to play international tournaments and championships for more than 15 years. However, he found his passion into teaching ,– just like his grandfather. There is no better feeling, once you become a witness of your student progressing from a zero to a master of the game. Working as a coach, the most important thing is connection with his class. If we can feel each other as a team and work towards our goal, we can achieve great things.
