"I loved solving interesting puzzles with Luis because they were the perfect brain warm up for every session. I also really enjoyed learning new openings, especially the Jobava London!"

"I really like the warm-up puzzles that get the brain going, as well as the tips Luis gives which include advice for both on and off the chessboard. He has helped improve my calculation in difficult positions and we have shared many memorable moments in our classes."

"My son absolutely loves his chess coaching with Luis. What impresses us most is how well he understands each child and adapts his teaching to keep every session challenging, interactive, and enjoyable. He is an amazing coach with so much knowledge, and his way of teaching inspires kids to enjoy chess and think for themselves. Definitely from us! A well deserved 5/5 stars. We highly recommend him."
