Individual lesson / review with Guzel 2d
I had a lesson with Guzel from polgote.com and have only superlatives to share. Teacher was very well prepared with three of my games already pre-reviewed before we started. Comments were clear, informative and suited for my level (EGF 3k). After we finished, I got a video recording and set of 10 problems, also matching my abilities. I learned a lot. Highly recommended.
