Rising Talent
Project details
My experience with Chess coaching/mentoring has allowed me to productively refine the teaching methodology I deliver. The lesson plans I offer are designed to focus on identifying weaknesses and then gradually removing them from a student's play through the course of our training sessions. At the same time, I focus on a player's strengths to highlight & nurture them so that they can build upon their foundations.
Besides openings, middlegames and endgames in general, I lay a special emphasis on certain aspects of the game such as position play, piece activity and transferring an advantage.
Lastly, the concepts I discuss are designed to help a person in the long run of their Chess journey. I strive to explain various ideas so that they stay in your mind long after our sessions have concluded.
