Teaching methodology
Zoom and lichess.org
During the lessons, we will work on:
- Training games with analysis
- Based on the analysis from the games working on the weaknesses/strengths
- Working on the middle games, plans. Resolving the major questions for example what to do after the Opening (first ten moves) played on the board.
- Working on chess tactics (short-term and long-term)
- Preparing young students for major tournaments such as Nationals, Open tournaments, etc.
