I have been working with Yuri Vovk since I was Fide 1500 rated and now i am at a stable 2320 rating with an IM norm. Always have gone back to him for lessons, advice and game strategy. He is the very best! (Posted on April 15, 2020)

I am a USCF national master. I got the lesson from Coach Yuri for around 3months now. He has full knowledge of the chess opening and understandings. Besides, He is always well-prepared for each lesson. (Posted on September 16, 2018)

My Coach Yuri is an amazing character who makes complex chess lessons simple to understand. His English is great, he does not waste time, he is clear on what to teach, he is meticulous and finally he has a heart to help me raise the level of my game. He is passionate in whatever he does and that makes a world of difference. Highly recommended for 1500 - 2200 rated players in my assessment. (Posted on August 22, 2017)

Vovo is hands down the best Review by zhoujing426

In the first place, he's super cute (cuteness trumps all, just kidding). And nothing beats the slavic accent, which carries prestige in the chess world! Above all, he's super effective and organized. I would not have been so confident with my French Defense except for all the lines he showed me. With his help, within 2 months I progressed from non-rated to a FIDE 1489 player with my lichess rating going up 200 points in both blitz and rapid categories. At this rate of progress I can see myself breaking into top 100 female player of my country within a year. Any quibbles? He's tooooo busy to book since he's so good. (So actually I feel very reluctant to leave this honest review as it will only make him busier.) Moreover, he has a way too upright moral. So don't count on him to help you "cheat" in your correspondance games. Also he doesn't do pep talk very well so...count on yourself to recover after a loss and believe that is only temporary with his help. (Posted on January 9, 2017)

Yuri is an excellent teacher, he teaches as per the strength of the student. My son is learning for a month with him and he gained around 100 points in chess.com. If you are looking for a cheaper and highly effective teacher, then I highly recommend GM Yuri. (Posted on October 19, 2016)
