Western Pacific Open 2014
My name is Gabriel Eidelman, and I am 18 years old. I have been playing chess since the age of 6. Since then, I have developed a deep love and passion for it and have played in tournaments in Greece, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, and all over the United States. I became a National Master at age 13, and have been a top player for my age my entire life. I am currently rated 2326 USCF and 2206 FIDE.

Why Me?
Chess is a very difficult game. There are lots of free materials to help you improve your level, but, as most of you will realize, all of that has a limit. Most people realize this when they plateau and find themselves stuck for months or even years. Amassing information is not always the way to improve. Sometimes the key is figuring out what's going wrong in our own play and fixing that. I know from personal experience how helpful that is. I have had three great coaches in my chess career (so far): International Master Andranik Matikozyan, Daniel Vellotti, and Grandmaster Robert Hess. They have all helped me target my weaknesses to improve. I hope to be able to do the same for you.
