I wasn't sure about getting a chess coach at first (Will I actually improve? Is my rating high enough? Am I too old for this?), but my experience with Matías has been fantastic. He is very friendly and passionate about chess and he was quick to evaluate my current level, even taking the time to review a few of my games before the first meeting. The lessons are interactive: we solve puzzles, practice calculation, review master-level games, and learn positional concepts. He is very patient, even when I'm taking a long time to understand a position.
Most impressive is the amount of work Matías puts into preparing lessons beforehand and preparing resources/exercises to work on in-between lessons. He has a great understanding of what'll be the most valuable use of your time based on your own personal goals. In just a few weeks, I went from feeling completely hardstuck in my chess progression, to feeling spoiled for choice in ways I can continue to improve my game. Huge recommend!
