What our students say about us

TEDDY, 27 y.o.

USA

A phenomenal coach! Matvey is knowledgeable, flexible, and an overall great person to learn from.
Knowledgeable: He's a walking chess engine in all phases of the game. He's able to analyze my games on the fly and tell me where I could have improved. He also comes prepared with opening theory so I can learn the most topical variations. His suggestions often mirror the top engine moves.

ANDY, 25 y.o.

USA

I have been taking weekly lessons with Matvey for the last 6 months, and they've been absolutely wonderful. He's extremely knowledgeable about chess, of course, and thinks amazingly quickly on his feet. But what stands out about Matvey is how much he cares about his students. His lessons feel very personal -- he helps me pick out an opening repertoire and selects exercises based on my weaknesses. 

IVAN, 22 y.o.

Switzerland

Matvey is coaching me for several months and improved my understanding of chess a lot, both the strategical goals as well as the dynamic perspective. We managed to build a solid opening repertoire, which I really enjoy playing. You immediately notice that he is a very experienced coach and also seriously invested in to the success of his students.

RUSLAN, 7 y.o.

Russia

(Translation):

Matvey has been working with our son for a little over a month. He is 7 years old. They meet up 2 times a week. He has learned a lot of new openings. During this time, the level of his game has grown significantly. For the first time, he was able to beat his uncle, CM in chess. 

TOLYA, 9 y.o.

Russia

(Translation):

Matvey conducts classes with our 9-year-old son. We've been training together for 3 years 2 times a week. The lessons are interesting, the son is engaged with pleasure. The material is clearly explained. During the lessons, openings for both colors were clearly set. Our son has improved in the middlegame.

SVETA, 12 y.o.

Russia

(Translation):

Matvey coaches our daughter, 12 years old. He is not only a coach, but also a wonderful psychologist. The most important achievement in half a year of classes is that if the daughter used to think between "giving up now or in a couple of weeks", then classes with Matvey solved such a problem :-)

MARIGJE, 29 y.o.

Belgium

I’ve been working with Matvey for over a year now, he’s a great coach! He helped me to become a titled player and win the world championship in my category.
His lessons are excellent and catered to me.

VANYA, 13 y.o.

Russia

(Translation):

I work with Matvey and clearly feel progress. If half a year ago I had 500 points (chess.com rating), now I am up to 1100 points. Classes are interesting, there is both practice and theory. I am absolutely satisfied.
