Hello everybody!
I have been playing chess since I was 4.5 years old. In this I have some success (more you can read here). I can not imagine life without thinking through complex strategies and without creating stunning combinations.
In real life, I found a global «chessboard» for myself. I create marketing and PR campaigns. And I enjoy it. Below you can get to know me closer and see my work.

ChaoYue chess club
" Maksim Ashomkin joined the Sichuans ChaoYue chess club in October 2016. Since then he has proved to be a most reliable and effective member of the education team.
Maksim is professional and efficient in his approach to work and very well-liked by his colleagues, students and their parents. He is well-presented and able to work both independently and as part of a team. During his time, Maksim taught at the club, school and kindergarten. The age of his students varies from 3 to 12 years. Maksim can find a language and build relationships individually approaching each student, and establish a respectful and trusting relationship with the parents of students.
His contribution to all areas of company activity in which he has been involved have been much appreciated.
I believe that Maksim will make a valuable addition to any organization that he may join. We deeply regret his decision to move on and I recommend him without hesitation. "
