I would switch testimonials (so that it stands closer to about Attila turzo and chess holidays (which for the moment is much more important then testimonials) from place.

Some games, from you, or games you analyzed of your students would be nice.

It's a very nice website!

Some minor typo alterations can be made (you played against me in the 1000 vs 1, so happy to help.)

Some typo errors from the homepage:

"My lessons help you to play the right strategy and find   combinations."

Backspace two from 'combinations.'

"...understanding are the keys to chess  improvement."

Backspace one from 'improvement.'

"...customized to your personal strengths and  weaknesses."

Backspace one from 'weaknesses.'

Spelling error - 'Commantator' should be 'commentator.'

...

Typo from 'About Attila Turzo'

'Milestone' is one word, not two.

Bullet point and capitalise the first word of your highlights, i.e.

* Started at age 7.

...

Chess holiday page.

Odey from Winchester quote 'Excellent city' in the text should not be a capital letter 'E' change it to 'e' or put a full-stop after 'future' instead of a comma.

I don't have time to go over the testimonials but can do so later if you want. I could send you a PM.

I would like a little corner where people could post their games and you can charge them a fee to analyze them with them and suggest improvements live.... 2 advantages from this:1) You can make the same money you would in private on skype... 2) the students and you can agree to make it public on the site so that others could chip in with comments and disagreements or with suggestions of better lines or analysis...

"Please peruse the website to learn more about IM Turzo and how he can teach you to become a better chess player."

I was only able to figure out how to "peruse the website" by looking for and after awhile, finding your MENU (I almost gave up as I also needed to enable scripts to work in my browser before MENU would even show.  I should never have to enable scripts just to view and follow a website's MENU, as that requires a level of blind TRUST that your website is not harmful (heh! the previous poster has a very valid point!!) -- many people are cautious when browsing websites and so they DO NOT have scripts enabled in their browser (eg. I use NoScript as an add-on in Firefox).  A non-scripted MENU version is essential imo.

I would also link the word 'website' directly to MENU and use "this website" instead of 'the website', the latter sounds too dry and disinterested, and I would change "can" to "will".

ps.  Ask yourself:  Does my website satisfy visitors that this is a website that will be browseable and likely of interest to them in the first four seconds upon their arrival.  That is about how long you typically get with most visitors to 'grab' their interest enough for them to stay and look around, else they may be inclined to 'move on' to some other website.

pps. A better title (satisfying the reader's desire on arrival to know what use your website and services are to them) might be:  Improve Your Chess Game with Chess Coach Attila Turzo, IM  (altering the title, avoids the present first impression that your webpage/website is not a biography but a service description).

Having enabled scripts to explore your new site, I now feel obliged to do a full anti-virus scan, just in case I was mistaken about your site being harmless.
