Reviews from my students of my coaching

Ben has been an invaluable guide in my chess journey. He possesses an extraordinary depth of knowledge about all aspects of chess and has patiently adapted his coaching to my unique needs. His thorough analysis of both my black and white openings has led to remarkable improvements of my game. Most importantly, Ben has taught me how to properly analyse positions and has guided me on refining my thought process in general. Thanks to the techniques he has taught me I have managed to also improve my middle and end games, which especially pays off to me in longer time controls. Ben put his focus on the areas where I need the most improvement and has a strong preference to analyse my losses over my wins. This can be quite painful... but hey, no pain, no gain. Luckily , Ben's sense of humour makes learning enjoyable, I feel truly fortunate to have such an exceptional coach by my side.

Man, what can I say about Ben that hasn't already been said? Phenomenal coach who has been patient and flexible every step of the way. Ben helped reinforce the basics I was lacking and built-up confidence in my chess. I have changed the way I approach each game and each move. Ben does a great job assessing you as a student, and tailoring his lessons to your needs, or what you feel needs improvement. The best part? None of his lessons were ever boring, I was always looking forward to our weekly sessions. Whether showing off my improvement or to highlight an embarrassing blunder, Ben helped find improvement every time. Cannot recommend working with Ben enough.

Dear Kyle,
Thank you for the review. Your kind words mean a lot to me! You have improved so much and you were able to achieve what you wanted to by practicing and listening to my advice. It was so awesome seeing you make better and better moves each time. I know it's only the beginning for you!

As someone who is higher on the rating curb Bence is a fantastic coach. His teaching style is great, he has tons of different resources to assist you but in my opinion the most important thing in a coach is how his character is. Bence is an all around great guy who is very nice but brutally honest when he needs to be. I would recommend him as a coach and have to thank him for helping me get to the rating I am at today as I may still have gotten here but it would have not been nearly as easy of a journey.

I have been taking lessons from Ben for about 1 month now and I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills. In the past month Ben has helped me grow from a 780 rating to 1202! We have worked on opening repertoires with both the white and black pieces that fit my play style, helped me to understand the different plans in the middle game, and taught me the must know end game tactics. Ben has made this process extremely easy to learn and study by creating our own course that we can both add to so that I am able to review on my own time. Even when we are not scheduled for a lesson, Ben is always willing to exchange messages with me whenever I have any questions. Ben goes above and beyond for his students. If you are considering a coach, Ben is your guy no matter what level you're at. 10/10

I have been taking lessons with Ben for almost 1 year, he's a great coach. Very patient and explain all the topics in a easy and clear manner.

In my case we have focussed a lot in the proper way to find the right move in any position and in tactics. I have learned a lot with him.

If you are looking for a great coach, that explain all the topics in a clear way, and an excellent and friendly person, Ben is the right one

I have been taking lessons with Ben for more than a year; he is super nice to interact with, has good teaching skills, he is very patient and gives constructive feedbacks. His teaching program is truly individualised and tailored to the level and progresses of the student. I would highly recommend him!
