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.

Hi , im a completely new beginner to chess . Would like to get better at the game and have a better understanding of chess tactics and stratergy in general.would you coach  a complete beginner like myself and offer advice for improvement. how soon can we start training?

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.

ive played him before

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!

I've been studying with Attila for a month now, and I am very satisfied with the quality of the lessons.  His chess coaching experience is obvious.  He has helped me to develop an opening repertoire suited for my style, and I am already a more confident player as I am now playing the right openings.  Attila is passionate about chess, and this is something that's very important for any chess teacher.  I am looking forward to many more lessons with him.  

Looking for a chess coach?  Want proven results?  Look no further!  Under IM Turzo's patient tutelage, in less than six months, my rating has gone up from 1514 to 1742 USCF, I have won the 2011 US Class C Championship, and I am already beating 2000+ rated players. 

In situations where I already know what openings my opponent is likely to play, Attila has given me a specific opening repetoire to study and prepare in response, and I have won or drawn every match as a result.

I highly recommend IM Attila Turzo.  He's supportive and friendly, is able to quickly highlight strengths and weaknesses in any position, and list other master games for me to study.  He also documents homework and keeps a log of all games we have analyzed together.  In short, Attila's coaching has been critical to my success.
