I was born in 1960 - the year a young Mikhail Tal became World Champion. After leaving the British junior chess circuit I started working unusual hours and have done ever since. For that reason I had very little chance to play chess as an adult, and instead bought chess books. At least 1000 have passed through my hands, and I have gone over at least 50,000 Master level games. I am fascinated by chess as an evolutionary process, and have been writing about chess history since the days when I had to type up articles on a stencil for a 'duplicating machine'. There is a saying :- 'No-one is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is entitled to an informed opinion. Who would say that they are entitled to ignorance.' Sometimes things that ' everybody knows' are not true. All chess players are my frie...
(Spanish/English) FM since 2009. In 2013 I got the TLCommunications Engineer Title and since then, I have been teaching chess and playing official tournaments. Mail: michechess89@gmail.com Whatsapp: +5353223262 Two IM norms (struggling for the 3rd), I've been over 2400. During last 6 years I have been training and teaching chess, some of my students have become national champions in children's categories. How long does it take for a student to get 100 points? I have seen some of my students improve 100 points on their peak rating after 20 hours of lessons. This is very variable, it depends on so many things, but some of them have got that. This means that working two hours in the week, you could be able to get 100 points in 10 weeks (or faster, or slower). Benefits of Chess: https://www....

I dabble between chess & books. Can speak in English, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil and Marathi. I recently wrote a short story titled 'Over a Cup of Chai' that's available on amazon. My last novel 'The Lively Library & An Unlikely Romance' is a story of a library where books come to life at night. And if you are wondering what my chess.com handle means - Geborgenheit is a german word which is hard to explain. It can only be experienced; It could also be inner peace of your soul. Google says 'security' but it is more than that!
Hi, I am Gabor Horvath, a chess coach originally from Hungary. I am 38 years old and live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A little bit about me I learnt chess from my father when I was 6 and have been participating in tournaments since I was 14. My home town had a thriving chess life, and I was fortunate enough to be able to work with renowned Hungarian coaches IM Bela Molnar and IM Gyula Meszaros. During this time I studied and played with some talented young players who later became professionals (GM Gyula Pap, GM Gabor Papp, GM Ferenc Berkes, GM Peter Acs, WGM Anna Rudolf). Thanks to this, I gained a solid foundation in chess which I put to good use in my coaching practice. Over the years I have won a number of tournaments in Hungary, Brazil, England, and Northern Ireland. (Yes, I am...
