I am Gabor Horvath, a professional chess coach from Hungary with 10+ years experience. I have coached more than 100 students from all over the world, both kids and adults, from beginners to 2100+ players. 

I was selected as Coach of the Month  on chess.com in February 2020. I am also a top blogger.
