Testimonials:
“Attila is a very good coach I highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve in chess seriously, he has helped me a great deal in getting my chess back to state, I work with him once a week and it realy improves my chess understanding every time. We work on an new opening repertoir with him and I was at first quiet worried with the amount of time it would take and the amount of time i have in a week but after a few lessons with him it realy feels like there is nothing to learning new openings he realy takes time with what he teaches, doesnt just hastely go through lines if i have any questions about anything we would immediatly stop and analyze what ever idea i saw and he would explain it great. I will defenitly continue studying with him as long as I can”

“Looking for a chess coach? Want proven results? Look no further! Under IM Turzo’s patient tutelage, in less than six months, my rating has gone up from 1514 to 1742 USCF, I have won the 2011 US Class C Championship, and I am already beating 2000+ rated players.
In situations where I already know what openings my opponent is likely to play, Attila has given me a specific opening repetoire to study and prepare in response, and I have won or drawn every match as a result.
I highly recommend IM Attila Turzo. He’s supportive and friendly, is able to quickly highlight strengths and weaknesses in any position, and list other master games for me to study. He also documents homework and keeps a log of all games we have analyzed together. In short, Attila’s coaching has been critical to my success.”
Brian - bshicoff - Austin, Texas, United States
“I’ve been studying with Attila for a month now, and I am very satisfied with the quality of the lessons. His chess coaching experience is obvious. He has helped me to develop an opening repertoire suited for my style, and I am already a more confident player as I am now playing the right openings. Attila is passionate about chess, and this is something that’s very important for any chess teacher. I am looking forward to many more lessons with him.”
Calvin - CalvinJoseph_ - Illinois, United States
“Attila is an excellent coach. I have been studying with him for several months and I can feel and see the difference. I can only echo the comments of the others. He is clearly a good communicator and has really helped my self-confidence and attitude towards the game. Money well spent!”
David - Interalia2127 - Budapest, Hungary
“Attila has coached me for 8 months. He is an excellent coach and has helped focus my chess analysis and study time. Through his help, I believe that my playing ability has stablized and my confidence is greater for my chess games for both OTB and online chess. He has pointed out various “bad habits” I’ve developed.
In our sessions, we’ve covered building opening repertoires, position analysis, end game play and middle game planning. The sessions are very focused and, as a follow up, he sends the games that we’ve analyzed (along with the study lines) and a record of what was covered. In addition, he assigned homework to help keep me working toward my objectives.
I consider these sessions very valuable and feel that my playing strength is much stronger. I highly recommend him as a chess coach.”
Julian - jules_raider - Albuquerque, United States
“I was searching around for a good teacher when I first met Attila. I met him by joining one of his simuls and talking after the game with him. In the game we played I was blown away by his superior endgame technique and after taking lessons with him I still see him as an excellent endgame player. He was very friendly when we first met and I know that he takes good care of his students.
Ever since I started getting lessons from him I have seen a nice improvement in my play and rating. I give credit to him for my goals that I have reached. I was able to score my first over-the-board win against a FIDE master that was previously beating me constantly before Attila taught me. I am extreamly fortunate to have met him during my time of searching around for chess coaches.”
Matt - WonderWats4DinR - United States
“A few years ago, I took classes with Attila. He really helped improve my gameplay. Even though I no longer play chess, I treasure the classes that I had with him.”

What is your chess.com handle? If I know it then I can go to look your message and reply. I wish you a blessed day! Attila
My user name at Chess.com is BBINGHAM032352. I am still waiting for your first move. Thank you very much for this opportunity. When this competition is complete, I may request your online teaching services.
Thank you for your username. I just played the first move
Thank you very much for doing this! You are the first titled player I will ever have played against, and it will be a great learning experience! My best wins to date have been against players in the 1,900 region, but perhaps being pressed for time will make you slip up, hehe.
Thank you for playing in the 1000 Bright Minds Chess Simul! I wish we will play a great game!
Thank you for letting me play in the simul. I never had the opportunity to play against a high rated player and really appreciate this. I also may be interested in taking up online lessons later on. Let’s see.
Dear Dirk, Thank you for joining to the 1000 Bright Minds Chess Simul!
I wish you a great game! I am at your service to study with you in online lessons. Have a great day! Attila
Mr.Attila,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate. I am 66 and probably don’t have many years left to play an International Master. Thanks for remembering the little guy.
David
Dear David,
Thank you for joining to the simul! I hope we can play a lot of games together. You are still very young and many years of chess will come!
I wish you a blessed day!
Attila
Thanks for playing. I am 65 and have started playing since last one year. I do not know any opening except stonewall attack, about which I read in a magazine. I got bored when I tried to learn different openings. I like to try something different every time over the board. My intention is to enjoy the game and am equally happy, whether I win or loose.
Thank you so much for the game. For 25 years, I was a professional musician. In 2007, I was diagnosed with cancer and was fortunate enough to recover from it. I had always played chess. When I recovered, I decided to do something meaningful with my life so I started teaching chess to children in the public and private school system here in San Francisco. It has been the most spiritually rewarding adventure I’ve ever had. While I am not the best player, I put at least 3-4 hours of study into my own game when not teaching. Thank you again for the game!
I look forward to the opportunity of playing a great player.
Thank you for the opportunity to play you. (MattK25) I am a 25 year old man from Guernsey in the Channel Islands where I am actually second place in Guernsey. (Its a small island.) I plan to learn as much as I can from my game as I am always striving to improve. I have subscribed to the newsletter but no reply back…:-( I have really enjoyed our game so far and I wish to play you again or learn from you. (If its not too much trouble.) I will send you a donation on Friday since you are the nicest titled player I have come across. Thanks again and feel free to e-mail me.
Regards, Matt
I do not use credit cards. I would be happy to send you a donation by snail mail.
Jim

hi??
Hi!
How can I help you?
Hi, I am alexlaw and a player currently playing against you in the 1000 bright minds. Would you do a short analysis of my game against you afterwards?
It looks pretty interesting now-I am up two pawns, but it seems you have a lot of compensation.
Yes. I am at your service to study the game. I wish you a lot of fun in our game!
Hello
What do you think about our game?
You played very well, the sacrifices were fantastic. Thank you very much for playing in the 1000 Bright Minds Chess Simul!
To Attila,
Against me you played the Caro-Kann Defence. I was wondering if this is your normal opening or do you play a different one?
Callum
Hello Callum, I play many difference openings, I play the Caro-Kann too. I wish you the best for our game!
