I do have the exact same question as well ^^^ and am interested. Have recently met Jeff Sarwer and this epic moment has re-sparked my interest in chess (I think I played a serious game of chess >15yrs ago)

Also, if you play poker, specifically MTT poker, maybe we could do an exchange ? Tho with my rates not sure how feasible that would be for you.

Anyway, looking for the 20hr/$600 pkg and will def have time around the holidays/January to start. Please PM me if you think this is worth your time . Thanks !

I have been taking lessons from Tautvydas for about 6 months so far and cannot say enough good things about his coaching.

In my opinion, Tautvydas' strongest trait is his ability to relate to the student. He is a very strong player but remembers what it's like to not understand a concept or idea. I'm rated just shy of 2000 USCF and I can tell that Tautvydas really understands my struggles because he tells stories about having some of the same problems I do. Not only is he able to identify with the issues of a lower rated player, he is fantastic at explanining his thoughts in a clear and concise way. No matter how many times I ask the same question trying to grasp a certain theme, he is very patient with me and happily explains the concept again. And if you didn't know it, you'd never guess English is not his native language. He uses slang and colloquial sayings as well as anyone I know.

Our lessons are typically two hours in length, with the majority of the focus being on games I've played since our last lesson. Tautvydas looks at the games beforehand and comes prepared to talk about them during a lesson, which is great so he's not seeing the games for the first time and you can really get started right away. We go deeply into each game, and he ALWAYS comes up with ideas and thoughts that never entered my mind. He's an extremely creative player and has really opened my eyes to the dynamic and tactical possibilites present on the board.

One of my favorite things is that he's not just your coach for those two hours when you meet. Throughout the week, if he knows I'm playing in a tournament, he'll send me a message asking how the games are going. Or if he knows I've got a big game coming up, he'll help me come up with some good opening preparation. You can genuinely tell he cares about his students and wants them to do well, which is an incredibly refreshing feeling.
Last but not least, his lessons are just plain fun. He has a great sense of humor and loves to interject jokes and offbeat comments into the game. But no matter how much we laugh and joke, I always come away from our lessons feeling like I learned something and the money was well spent.

I'd highly recommend Tautvydas to any player that is looking to seriously improve his/her game.
