On-line Lessons

If there's one thing most of my students agree on that's the level of committment and hard work that I'm willing to put into my student´s learning process. This can only come from a genuine interest and enjoyment of the work that one does, and let me be honest, it's not so common...
When someone has formally made the decision to become my student, I try to gather as much information as I can , so that I can get a better picture of what his/her current level and goals are.
The next step is working out a training plan. This plan will be “goal oriented”, in other words, together we'll review and outline some clear goals. My task will be to help you achieve those goals. During this stage we'll agree on the day and time for our lesson.
Soon after this, you will get a list with the first 4 topics that we'll be working on. If you choose the standard coaching plan, you get the option of choosing some of the topics that we’ll cover in those lessons.
I'm currently offering 4 different coaching plans:

• Sparring
No chosen topic, no pre-selected opening, you just get to play on-line against a strong International Master on the server of your choice, and you also get to pick the speed of the games. This is the most affordable option, but you get a couple of bonuses... (full details when you fill out the information request form, see below)

• Training Games
Ideal for students who want to prepare specific topics such as an opening line, a particular type of endgame, positions with a particular feature and so on.

• Standard training
live on-line lessons covering a large variety of topics on strategy, endgames, planning, tactics, etc. Full on-line support, free study files, tracking, etc. Best value.
• New! Off-line Coaching
Some people have a pretty busy schedule or would rather work on their own at their own pace. The advantage of off-line coaching is that there’s no time pressure. You will get your assignments only once you’ve completed the one you ́re working on .Your progress will be monitored, and you get a few extras as well, including voice messages.

Lessons are normally done on the Internet Chess Club (ICC) Chess server or the playchess.com chess server.
