My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM and a certified chess coach. My top ELO is 2435.

E-mail address: balazsgabor1991@gmail.com

I have been playing chess for 26 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 besides the hard work. I have pupils at almost all levels from beginners to advanced players (500-2200 rating).

Three of my students earned the Hungarian Champion title and one of my students won the Hong Kong Junior Chess Championships at their age group.

You can see a lot of feedback from my coaching services here: www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-lessons/feedbacks-from-my-services

I had some IM coaches, who worked with World Class players (e.g. Boris Gelfand, Judit Polgar, Ferenc Berkes), so I could learn a very useful, personalized teaching method.
