Reviews of Me and my Lessons

“I highly recommend Mr Bobula as a chess coach. My son has been practising under his guidance for a year now and he has improved significantly during that period. The lessons were really interesting too! I can tell that my kid enjoyed them and was eager to take part in them.”

Paul

“Did several lessons with Mat (over 10). I played at around a 1400 level prior to Mat. Afterwards, I play at about a 1600 level. Mat improved my game in every way and prepared me for some OTB tournaments in my home town.”

Nevin

“Taking 2 lessons a week since 8 mths and got a much more profound understanding of all parts of the game. Mat is always well prepared and by analysing my games he is very much able to address exactly my weaknesses. His pedagogical and emphatic skills combined with his big experience are exactly what I was looking for. Enjoying every lesson with Mat. Without constraint: Highly recommended. ”
