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.
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!
I have played in a number of Chien's/@Fhunfi's 90/30 tournaments. They are well organised and professionally run. He communicates regularly with participants, and keeps the results up to date. He is also very courteous and diligent.
I have no hesitation in recommending his services if you want to improve your chess.
I say good on you! - for making this all possible. It is for people like you, that the maximum friendly matches with good sportsmanship and fellowship can be made from happy.png My sincere appreciation
Fhunfi is an excellent tournament director. Very clear with his instructions and extremely responsive. Thank you for all you do.

No offence but 1800 is really low if it's your lifelong passion. I don't even like chess and I got that in 6 months.

A writing from 1 of friend

An insightful quote there: Being good at chess is not the only ultimate goal. Perseverance is the ultimate goal. People who never become good but have played chess for 50 years are a lot successful than GMs who would quit chess after one awful tournament.
The currently running 2 Swiss tourneys:
Swiss 90m+30s with 59 participants

For ones who missed this cycle -->
looking forward for next cycle (expected to be starting on early August 2024)
* We have been running the Swiss 90m+30s league for 8 cycles (seasons) since year 2022 continuously and consistently without any pause/ break.
Swiss 45m+45s with 36 participants

Swiss 45m+45 is to change the pace from the regular Swiss 90m+30s, as the respond to request from some members who can't afford to spend 3-4 hours to play 90m+30s game.
For you who search for sustainable and dedicated organized tourney,
you will find the right place here.

"No offense, but here's an unprovoked insult."
Why even make this comment? What is wrong with you?
It just feels weird to say it's your lifelong passion if you haven't put that much effort into it
Anyone can be the happiest chess player & never be affected by outside factors.

Chein has trained me in the anti sicilians in preparation for rolling out my dragon as black, he is very knowledgeable in various openings and plays strong theoretical lines to test your systems effectively. He is very reasonably priced too. My chess development has gone through the roof after our sessions of training games. highly recommended.
Chein has been able to organize tournaments now for quite a while very successfully. It is difficult enough to keep players engaged the entire time, and yet he has a knack for encouraging players to join the tournament on a very regular basis.
While I run a tournament every night on another site, he has provided me with a little of his free time to help provide me with advice to keep the players engaged.
I just joined the club recently, but I'm amazed at how well organized all of this is. Also, Chien always replies within hours. For now it has been a very enjoyable experience.
Chien is the most passionate chess player and coach I have ever known. He runs many tournaments and provides chess instruction at a reasonable price. If you are looking for someone to help you with your game, he is your guy!
