Rashad Babaev has been my son’s Adrian coach for a couple of years now. Adrian enjoys the lessons, they are always very well structured with great theory and puzzles and some practice at the end. I highly recommend GMChesPrep for their professionalism and exceptional chess coaching. I would like to highlight that our coach’s deep knowledge of chess, strategic insights and effective teaching methods significantly contributed to my son’s improvement as a chess player. It has been truly inspiring for Adrian to learn from someone so dedicated and skilled.
