Hello everyone, I made it the point this year to play chess more seriously. I highly appreciate having this kind of community where we can play classical online. Thank you all for being here and thank you to fhunfi for organizing this!

SHF

Thank you fhunfi for everything you do to promote classical online chess. Your efforts give a lot of people the opportunity to enjoy the game they love. You are much appreciated.

In trying out the 90 + 30 events, I find Chien to be well-organized and on top of things all the time. That's encouraging to me as a participant in these types of events.

Played a training game with Chien. The game was excellent. He prepared before hand and the game review was very instructive. Will be doing it again. His work as a tournament director is also excellent.

I am now taking lessons from Chien, and can state unequivocally that he is an outstanding teacher. His patience and insight into what a mediocre player like me needs to look at is outstanding. I would recommend instruction through him to anyone.

I also appreciate the time and effort he invests in the long time control tournaments. He does a fantastic job managing them.

Chien has done an amazing job organizing online tournaments. Very professional, very responsive. 10/10. Thanks for everything you do!

counterfactual_bagel

Chien provides a tremendous service to the chess community by organizing online tournaments that utilize slow time controls. In an era when the largest chess company and the biggest chess icons are decidedly pushing the game toward more speed chess and less classical chess, it is a significant and valuable feat to create online spaces for slow chess. I'm grateful to Chien for the huge amount of work that he puts in to make this possible!

I also appreciate the time and effort Chien invests in the long time control tournaments I participate in. Very greatful to him as I can meet and play serious players.

I'm playing in my first 90+30 tournament organized by Fhunfi. He is an absolute master of this - the tournaments are organized strictly and clearly. Fhunfi makes the necessary and sufficient effort to keep the pace of the tournament going.
These tournaments are a real gem of online chess, because nowadays fast formats are very popular, which can't teach you to play well. Fhunfi's efforts allow us to continue to enjoy classical chess with opponents around the world in the computer age. Thank you, my friend!
I invite everyone who also plays lichess to join the 90+30 Fhunfi club there and participate in his tournaments.

I can not put into words how much I have learned from playing just a few games with fhunfi, he is a great player, and an even better teacher! The classical community also seems a much friendly and active place, helping a lot specially players who compete OTB tournaments. I really can't recommend both fhunfi's classes and this community enough. If you are a competitive player, you have to check this out!

Capa_a

Fhunfi has done such an awesome job of running the 90+30s tournaments and other events! He is on top of everything and always courteous and respectful. He really makes these events run just perfectly. He must be spending a very large amount of his personal time to organize and publish the events/pairings/results while at the same time politely reminding everyone to schedule and play their games on time. Thank you Fhunfi, this is an indispensable service and you do an excellent job!!! Out of 5 stars, I would give 6.

I just want to add my thanks to fhunfi for all the assistance that he has provided -anytime I have had a question or a concern he has always provided me with the assistance I needed. He is such a valuable resource to the efficient running of all the features where he assists

I highly recommend Chien if you are looking to up your game. He provides many services. He will review your game, provide general or specific instruction and now has a daily course by mail at a very reasonable price. Chien is the most dedicated and passionate chess player I have ever known in my life. In addition to providing instruction, he runs many chess tournaments on several sites.

I can without question recommend him highly if you are looking to improve your game.

Mr. Fhunfi is a dedicated member of chess.com community, he puts a lot of efforts organizing live slow chess tournaments, words are not enough to show how much the community members are appreciative to his hard work and dedication.

He is strongly recommended as a chess coach and a chess friend as well.

dude2048

I have been playing in Fhunfi's events for a while now, and as a tournament host, I can see they are very well made. When I play him, his time management ensures every game is high-quality to analyze in depth. I have recommended his events and coaching services and will continue to!
