Hello everyone, I made it the point this year to play chess more seriously. I highly appreciate having this kind of community where we can play classical online. Thank you all for being here and thank you to fhunfi for organizing this!

In trying out the 90 + 30 events, I find Chien to be well-organized and on top of things all the time. That's encouraging to me as a participant in these types of events.

Since taking a lot of lessons from fhunfi, my experience of learning and playing Endgames has changed altogether. Instead of dreading Endgames, I actually look forward to them, they have become more fun for me to play and I can easily calculate during the middlegame even how to convert to a winning Endgame.
You have been a very valuable guide to me 
thank you for making the game of Chess something to look forward to for me everyday.

Played a training game with Chien. The game was excellent. He prepared before hand and the game review was very instructive. Will be doing it again. His work as a tournament director is also excellent.
I appreciate playing games with long time control and I think, fhunfi makes a fantastic job.

I am now taking lessons from Chien, and can state unequivocally that he is an outstanding teacher. His patience and insight into what a mediocre player like me needs to look at is outstanding. I would recommend instruction through him to anyone.
I also appreciate the time and effort he invests in the long time control tournaments. He does a fantastic job managing them.

I always learn something new in Fhunfi's classes. Each and every session is unique and really gives me knowledge and depth to Chess which I never knew existed beforehand.
In my previous session with him, I learned about the "Saavedra Position" which is one of the most famous Endgame studies ever and it really opened my eyes on the hidden art of the game and how everything is just the tip of the iceberg when you learn about it.
Earlier, it was a slog and Endgames were pretty boring to me, but now its the only thing I want to play
Chien provides a tremendous service to the chess community by organizing online tournaments that utilize slow time controls. In an era when the largest chess company and the biggest chess icons are decidedly pushing the game toward more speed chess and less classical chess, it is a significant and valuable feat to create online spaces for slow chess. I'm grateful to Chien for the huge amount of work that he puts in to make this possible!
I also appreciate the time and effort Chien invests in the long time control tournaments I participate in. Very greatful to him as I can meet and play serious players.
I'm playing in my first 90+30 tournament organized by Fhunfi. He is an absolute master of this - the tournaments are organized strictly and clearly. Fhunfi makes the necessary and sufficient effort to keep the pace of the tournament going.
These tournaments are a real gem of online chess, because nowadays fast formats are very popular, which can't teach you to play well. Fhunfi's efforts allow us to continue to enjoy classical chess with opponents around the world in the computer age. Thank you, my friend!
I invite everyone who also plays lichess to join the 90+30 Fhunfi club there and participate in his tournaments.
I can not put into words how much I have learned from playing just a few games with fhunfi, he is a great player, and an even better teacher! The classical community also seems a much friendly and active place, helping a lot specially players who compete OTB tournaments. I really can't recommend both fhunfi's classes and this community enough. If you are a competitive player, you have to check this out!

Fhunfi has done such an awesome job of running the 90+30s tournaments and other events! He is on top of everything and always courteous and respectful. He really makes these events run just perfectly. He must be spending a very large amount of his personal time to organize and publish the events/pairings/results while at the same time politely reminding everyone to schedule and play their games on time. Thank you Fhunfi, this is an indispensable service and you do an excellent job!!! Out of 5 stars, I would give 6.
