About me

Greetings on my profile!

About me

My name is Martin Istvanovszki and I am from Hungary. I earned the FIDE Master title in 2010 at the age of 18, a few years after winning the U12 European Championship in rapid, which I am very proud of. I've been coaching beginners and also advanced competitor players since 2012. I consider myself as a hyperactive positional player who feel really well in sharp positions.

Coaching method

The workouts I provide are based on carefully constructed material that I have developed myself, which I tailor to individual preference. Of course I also welcome individual requests!
