I had a couple months of lessons with Matvey and it was extremely helpful and enjoyable! Before we started (he was my first coach), I gained 200 rating points in about 3 months of lessons, also he prepared me for my first tournament in which I was able to get my first victories!
He is very fun to work with, I highly recommend taking lessons with him. You will improve quickly!
Excellent English. Very interactive lessons where Matvey seamlessly discusses moves and ideas. Very challenging but never boring.
My lessons with Matvey are always very instructive, he has a great attitude and a clear passion for chess. we go over key games and positions to help me identify errors or better moves. The thing I am most impressed with is that he spectates my games almost everyday and sees my games live. I will continue to have lessons that is for sure as I have made some drastic improvements already.
I had a 2 hour session with Matvey, and feel like we touched on a lot of different topics, which all benefitted me. He has a good way of explaining the things he has prepared for the specific lesson and also at answering your questions. Fluent english with a good and calm way of explaining. I have also asked questions after the lessons on skype, which he asnwered fast with no problems :-) With a lot of hard work I went from 700-1000rating in about 2 weeks.
I haven‘t been trained by him but my best friend is in his training.He is much better now in chess then he was before.
Matvey is a very good coach. He has extremely much knowledge, but not only that. He explains it in a very instructive and understandable way. He talks very fast, since he wants to teach as much as possible through the lesson. He has fluent English so you never misunderstand what he says. He gives you an extremely solid repertoire which also gives you winning chances. When you are working with tasks they are always adapted to your level, and if you are stuck he gives you hints but let you solve it. If you have any questions about the position he explains them in a good and understandable way. I would highly recommend Matvey as a coach.
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.
I have got a training session with Matvey as a present from friends. They wrote in the gift card that they did not manage to defeat me, so they "paid someone to do it" for them.
However, the lesson with Matvey only made me stronger.
The two-hours session was very well organized, instructive and rich in material: Matvey analyzed my games on lichess, pointed out my weaknesses, gave me directions to progress and lots of general recommendations. This enabled a solid investment in my chess skills within a single lesson: I can now learn from the personalized study conducted by Matvey to further improve my performance. Matvey shows strong pedagogical and communication skills as well as personal qualities. I strongly recommend Matvey's lessons to chess practitioners willing to progress, wanting to get inspired or searching for an impressive chess experience beyond playing.
Матвей занимается с сыном чуть больше месяца. Сыну 7 лет. Занимается 2 раза в неделю. Изучил много новых дебютов. За это время уровень игры значительно вырос. Впервые он смог обыграть своего дядю, КМС по шахматам. Занятия интересные, ребенок ждет их с нетерпением. Мы довольны.
Matvey is not only a young and good chess player, but also a very good coach. He will help and explain everything at any second, even if you do not have a lesson with him. I advise you to work out with him, you will not regret.
He works extremely well with challenging kids. Lesson very well structured! Thumbs up
His way of teaching is very clear and simple, it’s suitable for all levels, I highly recommend him as a coach.
Matvey is a very good coach. He's lessons are very enjoyable. I am always exited in front of the lessons because I know it's good. In a short period of time, I have learnd so much from him. He is good at spotting my weaknesses and does something about it. He is always prepared for the lessons. His English is very good and understandable. He explains things very well. When we have lessons he teaches openings, middlegames, endgames and we analyze my games. He does those things very well. In 2 hours we do so much. With him as my coach, I have gained 100+ Fide points. I had problems with some openings and he showed lines in them which I enjoy to play. When he teaches openings, he teaches the lines and the plans white or black has in the opening. When he teaches middlegames we have a theme. He explains the theme first and then he gives exercises to the theme and gives me time to solve it, he explains the solution good as well. When he teaches endgames he have a theme and teach about it first and then gives exercises and explains them. The prize is affordable and I would recommend him as a very good coach both regarding knowledge and ability to teach.
Я занимаюсь с Матвеем и явно чувствую прогресс. Если полгода назад я играл на 500 очков ( рейтинг
chess.com), то теперь играю на 1100 очков. Занятия интересные, есть как практика, так и теория. Я Абсолютно доволен.
Матвей тренирует дочь, 12 лет. Он не только тренер, но и замечательный психолог. Самое важное достижение за полгода занятий - если дочь раньше размышляла между "забросить сейчас или через пару недель", то занятия с Матвеем решили такую проблему :-) Ребенок занимается с искренним интересом и мысли "бросать" уже давно канули в лету. Для подростка очень важно взаимопонимание, Матвей умеет находить подход даже к бунтарским характерам :-) Уровень игры и что даже важнее - уровень отношения к ней - у дочери даже за полгода значительно возрос, это заметили и окружающие. Матвей - прекрасный тренер как для начинающих, так и уже и имеющих определенный, так как подача материала варьируется в зависимости от характера ребенка и уровня его игры в настоящий момент. Домашние задания по по силам и с прицелом на будущее. Хочу сказать Матвею искреннее СПАСИБО за поддержку во время сложных турниров, когда они пошли не так, как хотелось. Это очень важно для ребенка -умение тренера тактично разобрать его ошибки, что бы человек сам извлек из них пользу, а не пал духом. Если выбираете тренера - попробуйте несколько тренировок с Матвеем, это просто потрясающий тренер.
Матвей проводит занятия с нашим сыном 9 лет. Занимаются третий год по 2 раза в неделю. Тренировки интересные, сын занимается с удовольствием. Материал хорошо и понятно объясняется. Во время занятий были четко поставлены дебюты за оба цвета. Хорошо прибавил в миттельшпиле - теперь легко находит планы на выходе из дебюта, стал заметно сильнее в эндшпиле. Задаются домашние задания. Матвей заинтересован в росте своих учеников, результаты отличные. С 3 юношеского до 3 взрослого , значительно поднялся рейтинг, через год после начала работы сын стал чемпионом города и области в своем возрасте (до 11 лет). Во время соревнований огромная психологическая поддержка! Всегда можно договориться об удобном времени для занятий, демократичная цена для такого высокого уровня уроков.
Матвей - замечательный тренер, рекомендуем его всем !
