"I just took my fifth lesson with Valeri, and what can I say? He has been an excellent teacher so far. I remember right after my first lesson with him I jumped right into a game and found that I was playing very differently. I was able to exploit the things he taught me that lesson and I won convincingly. He is very organized, after every lesson he sends you an mp4 file of the lesson, and once he even gave me a free e-book to help me improve my skills. Also, occasionally he has gone 10-30 minutes past the hour limit in order to help me learn something new. This is definitely a plus. I wish him the best of luck in his future chess endeavours!" -- Enrico Baculinao, Beijing, China
