Reviews:

"Lessons with Daniel have been excellent. Whether it's reviewing important games from top level players or even my own games, there are always lessons to take away. I appreciate the fact that Daniel will prepare personalized lessons based on what I want to work on in any given week. Scheduling is easy and Daniel has always been flexible if I need to shift anything around. I definitely recommend taking lessons with Daniel if you want to improve your game."
"In the short time I've been working with Daniel, my move accuracy and rating has increased noticeably. He works with you on your recent games to correct bad habits, as well as finds helpful lessons in master games. Super affordable for his skill level both as a coach and as a chess player."
