Teaching methodology

After examining carefully your games i will make a detailed plan with focus on your weak points. After that I'll make a training program to improve your skills. I could teach my students to learn the basics of chess like calculation techniques, basic strategy and theoretical endgames, as well as openning preparation. Мy goal is to pass on my knowledge, experience and understanding of the chess game and help my students increase practical strength of their play.
