Perfect! My son is taking chess lessons from Cengiz for the last two months. He is very knowledgeable about the game, professional, flexible (in terms of scheduling), and patient. What we liked most about him is that he is very good at guiding his student through the thinking/ analysing the moves by asking good questions instead of just telling the student what to do. He has helped my son a lot during his lessons and we feel quite satisfied with his teaching style and approach. In fact he even mentored him when he enrolled for his first ever chess tournament recently. We would definitely recommend him as a chess tutor.

He is very articulate and clear as you can see from his YouTube videos which is very helpful for a student like myself. In addition to that, Cengiz did a great deal of prep work before both lessons we had which shows his professional attitude and willingness to go the extra mile for his students.

Cengiz is a very reliable coach and an excellent communicator with great position understanding. Cengiz is patient and well researched, extremely pationate about the game. He draws knowledge from his job as a translator and university tutor and can communicate effectively in a variety of different languages.
He has a very solid style - hope it rubs off on your game like it did mine.Cengiz is very professional and knowledgeable coach. I first got acquainted with him when I visited his chess school in Kyrenia whilst being on holiday there. I first observed him whilst he was teaching kids. He explained the Petrov defence to them. I am no stranger to Petrov defence but I was really impressed by the depth of Cengiz’s knowledge and realised how little I knew in comparison to him. Cengiz delivered his lecture in a very measures way and calibrated his deliver in a very comprehensible manner. He gave regular examples from chess openings to corroborate his points. One pleasant surprise for was the description of the Shepherd’s mate in Turkish. Within a short space of time I learned a lot from Cengiz on Petrov defence and linguistic beauty of the turkish language. As a keen chess player and father of two kids I can say with confidence that I would be delighted if Cengiz was the tutor of my kids. Cengiz is a rare type of chess tutor from whom one can learn not only good chess but also how to be a decent human being.
