Opiniones de Matías Ianovsky

I've taken lessons from over a dozen chess coaches over the years: grandmasters, masters, and experts, and Matías is one of the best. He is meticulous, organized, and thoughtful, which means you get the most out of every lesson with him (and the time in between, if you want!). And he makes each lesson fun and engaging both through his welcoming personality and an effective mix of puzzles, games, and exercises to ensure variety. I already see my chess getting better from lessons with Matías after just a few sessions. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on lessons with Matías!

Matias is an incredible chess coach. Every lesson is meticulously well-thought out and designed to both build a strong foundation in fundamental chess principles and address my specific weaknesses and development areas. The lessons build on and complement one another as well. Not only are his chess lessons highly informative and productive, they’re also fun. Historical examples are usually the basis for his lessons; we’ve studied games ranging from the top players in modern chess to funny, but instructive casual games played between grandmasters and amateurs. Throughout the games, he asks great questions like “the intuitive move is x, but that’s a huge blunder, why?” He teaches you to think about chess the right way. Matias not only understands the best / most effective lines, he also understands the context of the games— the moment in history in which the game occurred, where the players were in their careers, and insight into what they were thinking at the time. He’s also hi

Working with Matías has been an absolute game-changer for my chess journey! Their expertise, patience, and passion for the game shine through in every session. Not only have they helped me improve my technical skills and strategic thinking, but they've also instilled in me a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of chess. Their personalized approach tailored to my strengths and weaknesses has truly accelerated my progress. With Matías's guidance, I've gained confidence the board. I couldn't recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to take their chess skills to the next level!

My chess lesson with Matías every Wednesday night has been the highlight of my week! He is a kind, patient, empathetic instructor whose mastery of the game is obvious. As a teacher of high school English for 25 years now, I am impressed with his teaching style. His lessons are well-structured, his explanations clear and thorough, and his chess homework perfect for reinforcing the chess concepts highlighted in each class. It is a blessing that I found him. It is so fun to grow as a player with Matías as my coach. Do NOT hesitate to choose him today!

Coach Matias took the time to look at my games, listen to my goals, and learn what I find the most (and least) enjoyable about chess. Each lesson has been customized to improve my strengths and address my weaknesses. He uses a good mix of tactical puzzles, strategic / positional understanding, and master games. He then sends homework and study material to reinforce the concepts, and even includes interesting chess facts and humor. Most importantly, this has resulted in me having more fun with chess and winning more games. I highly recommend Coach Matias.

Great chess teacher. My son really enjoying every lesson.
