Teaching methodology

📊After determining the initial level and becoming familiar with the player's strengths and weaknesses, the player begins to eliminate his/her weaknesses, while at the same time developing his/her strengths in the right direction.

📊Based on his/her chess style and level, she/he learns different openings. Then we need to focus on the middlegame of that lines what she/he wants to play to get familiar with the ideas.

📚We will have a lot of homework to improve the calculation by different tactical motifs.
There are also many books recommended for self-improvement, I send books and PGNs from up-to-date sources around the world.

💻Classes are held on Mirosoft Teams, Google Meet or Zoom
