About Daniel
My name is Daniel Pivonka, and I’m a chess coach from Chicago. I fell in love with chess at the age of thirteen, giving me nearly two decades of experience. I have a competitive nature, coming from a college-level tennis background. Throughout my chess journey, I’ve cultivated my knowledge of chess, reaching a 2000 rating on Chess.com, which puts me in the 99.7th percentile, and I’m eager to improve more. I am also the co-creator of Chessable course “Visualization Trainer”, which currently sits at an average 4.44 out of 5 star rating. One thing I love more than that is teaching, seeing my students improve and develop their own love for the game.
Whether you’re just beginning to learn how the pieces move, or are ready to refine your strategies, I offer personalized lessons that make chess accessible, rewarding, and fun for all individuals.

At Dan’s Board, I focus on personalized, engaging chess lessons tailored to each student’s level, from beginners to intermediates. My approach blends strategic play analysis, puzzle-solving, and game reviews to sharpen key skills like openings, tactics, and endgames.
Each session starts with progress check-ins, followed by focused lessons on key concepts, and hands-on practice through exercises and supervised play. My passion for chess and teaching sets me apart, making each lesson both fun and impactful, with clear improvement every step of the way. Perfect for anyone eager to enhance their chess game!

Perfect! Daniel is a wonderful chess teacher! His lessons are tailored to my needs and difficulties and have been so very helpful. Not only has my rating improved rapidly over the course of a few months, but my enjoyment of the game has deepened dramatically as well. Daniel's love and passion for chess is infectious. I look forward to my lessons every week. Thanks Daniel!
Perfect! Daniel is amazingly patient and attentive, and very good at tailoring his lessons to your personal journey rather than any rigid lesson plan. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone interested in improving in chess!
