@OP... because you are a fairly useless player.
How come my puzzle rating is so high, when my other ratings are so low?

Unfortunately I've been on the forums almost every day for 10+ years.
This means I recognize new people instantly, without even checking
I can just look at the name and avatar... that's also how I noticed necroed topics. Someone comments in a topic from 2010? Whoa, all these people I haven't seen in years? I instantly know.

My avatar doesn't favour me a lot there, lol
There's nothing inherently wrong with being a newcomer, but this Croatian guy is kind of an arse.

If you were not such an arse... you might note my name and pic been here for 4yrs. New account, not player.

Dear Chessfriend,
Due to this coronavirus situation, I lowered my prices. Instead of 30 EUR or 35 USD /hour, my new pupils get a discount, so the new prices are 25 EUR or 30 USD/hour. Don't hesitate to send me a message.
My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).
I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).
Why should you choose me?
- I have a widespread opening repertoire (a lot of openings are analysed by strong Grand Masters).
- I have a lot of chess books in PDF and Chessbase format, so I can teach you the main middlegame plans, the art of calculations, famous chess games and the endgame theory.
- I have elaborated, personalized training plans, which help you to improve your skills effectively.
- I help you analyse your games deeply, so you can realise your mistakes and learn from them.
- I am really flexible and hard-working person, the quality of my work is really important for me.
Please, contact me (balazsgabor1991@gmail.com), if you are interested in working with me, I am looking forward to your message.
my tactics rating is 3300
that is broken skills there
