Chess lessons with Attila are great. I recomend him to everybody!

So happy to accomplish my 4th goal for 2013 today: Getting assistance from a professional chess coach in the name of Attila.

It was a nice chat; we easily get comfortable with each other. We discussed my chess history  then my immediate and long term goal. Finally, we go over one of my recent games where he provided feedback.

The real value of this experience is that he gave me an indepth notes of our conversation with suggestions on how I should structure my personal training, types of books to read and  how I should manage my time doing all this.

I had my first lesson with Attila and I can say it was a very good experience. As many others have stated he asked me about my chess history and my goals. We also analyzed one of my recent games. A study plan has been set up and we are moving forward. I found Attila to be very pleasant and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is interested in improving their game!

Really nice to read such nice comments about this chess coach.  I am looking forward to being coached by IM Atilla Turzo soon.

IM Turzo is one of the greatest teachers I have ever met in my life; in our first lesson, after listening to my story really carefully and patiently, he has set my goals, study plans, and gave me appropriate assignments.  

Some teachers do not listen to students, just imposing his / her theory. Other teachers just let students tell their story, and say "Hang on in there."  Neither of them is a good teacher, I think.  IM Turzo's teaching style is, on the other hand, "tailor-made"; he proposes the best method which suits each of his students.  

IM Turzo is also an excellent "guide to the blind".  As they say, if the blind leads the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.  This is the reason why we should be careful in choosing the good teacher.  I have much difficulty analyzing my past games. However, with IM Turzo's help, I could understand clearly which move was good and which move was bad, with specific reasons.  In addition, he inducted five lessons from my game, which would be useful for me for a long time.  I strongly recommend that every ardent chess player should have him analyze his or her game . . . he is "the light of the world."

Great teacher! He takes the time to get to know you, and he starts off by asking your goals. He asks you what you like and dislike in a position and specific openings. He uses all this information to formulate a plan so you can achieve your goals.

He is friendly and very helpful with all questions. I would highly recommend this teacher to all levels of player wishing to improve their game to the next level.

I started my lessons with IM Attila, and now I can say I'm on the right track to learn and improve my chess.

I am new to this game--at 40! I took advantage of Coach Attila's offer for 50% off. It was a great $25 spent. I have only been playing since September, and during our study, he gave me some tips and rules to follow. I probably would have been making those mistakes (or not known those rules) forever unless Attila pointed them out to me. This is a great value. For as much as I have been playing--and hope to continue to play--I believe that I will improve much quicker and have less frustration with these lessons. He also respects the fact that we have jobs and families and cannot dedicate hours and hours a day on chess and puts together efficient study plans. He is a very nice man and sets you at ease. Well worth it!

I have had 2 coaching sessions with Attila.  It goes without saying that his chess knowledge is extremely indepth: openings, positional understanding and endgames.  The plans we have put in place have already improved my overall play and positional and tactical knowledge.  I am looking forward to continued improvement with  Attila.

I took lessons from Attila Turzo for several months and it was my best experience ever with a chess coach. He had me write down everything chess related I was doing and adjusted to my interests in helping me decide what to study. He was openminded regarding my choices of favorite openings and did a lot to help my game. I wish I had time to study more with him.

When I started taking lessons with Attila, I had a goal of breaking 1900 by the end of the year. I started at the beginning of the year with about an 1800 rating...and the goal was reached by the beginning of April

and I give Attila most of the credit. He is very patient and communicates the principles, where you can

understand them and use in your everyday games...

Before I took a lesson with Attila, I was on a loosing strike... Then, the same day, I won in 5 moves against a strong oponent, what more can be say, give him a try, Attila is a great teacher, verry clear, he give you the right exercices and the good advices for your level of play, It wont be my last lesson... that is sure!

I started taking lessons from Attila less than a year ago, and my USCF rating has increased by well over 100pts after playing in only a handful of tournaments.  The lessons I have taken from other teachers in the past were never as personally customized for me as what Attila offers.  His ability to teach complex positional concepts, tactics, and chess psychology have led to a breakthrough in my play that I thought wasn't possible (especially since I'm well into my 30s).  You will not be able to find better instruction or value for your money than what you will receive from Attila.

I have just finished my first lesson with Attila and was really most impressed. I must say that I was a little worried that dealing with an International Master, I would feel intimidated. But within minutes Attilo's relaxed and friendly manner put me at ease right away. He has the ability to come down to your level and has the patience to explain until you understand. There was no sense of rushing through the lesson but would stop and explain ideas and tactics at a pace that one could easily follow. You quicly realised that he has a genuine interest in you and in improving your chess abilities. I was impressed by his thoroughness and plans and ideas put forward to help you succeed. A tremendous amount was achieved in the hour we had and also gave you a desire to go out their and do it. I will certainly be continuing my lessons with Attilo. and I have made new friend as well. I would whole heartedly recommend Attila if you have a desire to improve your chess.

I just had my first lesson with IM Attila Turzo, where we analyzed 3 of my games. Communication was done via microphone and I learned a lot more than I would have expected in only 1 hour. In positions where I had spent a long time looking for the right move, he finds it in a matter of seconds and quickly explains why it's better, in a way that is easy to understand, and lets me build an attacking plan around that move so that it's easier to remember. I'm very satisfied.

I'm a university student and I had my first chess lesson with Attila today and enjoyed every minute of the lesson with him. Although things didn't quite go to plan (chess live analysis board didn't work and the microphones and camera were a bit jerky (which was my internet connection)) we still got through; and he didn't just stay for the hour, he made sure I actually had the hour of teaching, whilst also spending time before and after the hour talking to me about my chess life and trying to fix the technical problems. I couldn't have found a better coach and the value for money is amazing! He also wasn't pressurising at all with the money, and never asked for it before or during our sesssions, his aim is to help the students!

Thank you very much Attila for the lesson and I hope to study with you again!

Calum

A few years ago, I took classes with Attila.  He really helped improve my gameplay.  Even though I no longer play chess, I treasure the classes that I had with him.

I was searching around for a good teacher when I first met Attila. I met him by joining one of his simuls and talking after the game with him. In the game we played I was blown away by his superior endgame technique and after taking lessons with him I still see him as an excellent endgame player. He was very friendly when we first met and I know that he takes good care of his students.

Getting lessons from a player of his calibur for only $30/hour was an excellent investment for myself. Ever since I started getting lessons from him I have seen a nice improvement in my play and rating. I give credit to him for my goals that I have reached. I was able to score my first over-the-board win against a FIDE master that was previously beating me constantly before Attila taught me. I am extreamly fortunate to have met him during my time of searching around for chess coaches.

Attila has coached me for 8 months. He is an excellent coach and has helped focus my chess analysis and study time. Through his help, I believe that my playing ability has stablized and my confidence is greater for my chess games for both OTB and online chess. He has pointed out various "bad habits" I've developed.

In our sessions, we've covered building opening repertoires, position analysis, end game play and middle game planning. The sessions are very focused and, as a follow up,  he sends the games that we've analyzed (along with the study lines) and a record of what was covered. In addition, he assigned homework to help keep me working toward my objectives.

I consider these sessions very valuable and feel that my playing strength is much stronger. I highly recommend him as a chess coach.

Attila is an excellent coach.  I have been studying with him for several months and I can feel and see the difference. I can only echo the comments of the others.  He is clearly a good communicator and has really helped my self-confidence and attitude towards the game.  Money well spent!
