Guarantee to improve your chess play!
The chess tutor is capable to teach chess for all levels of students (from beginner to master) and the chess class covers all chess topics; such as chess opening study, tournament preparation, checkmate training (or tactics), chess middlegames, chess ending game study and practical chess games, etc.
The chess lesson is designed for the student’s playstyle; and each student will study different topics in order to improve their chess play.
The chess tutor is an expert on chess game preparation + after game analysis. He helps the student to prepare against a specific opponent during a chess tournament, and give precise evaluation in after game analysis.
Furthermore, the chess tutor also provides electronic chess study notes (PDF file) as well as chess PGN file (digital file for online review). And there are many benefits for students to learn how to play chess; play chess can help the student develop logical thinking skill, mathematical calculation skill and the ability of decision making.
Nevertheless, I personally believe that ‘age’ does not matter in chess, your chess performance is based upon your current form + knowledge + experience + preparation of the game.
According to my understanding; you should win first, before you go to a chess tournament. Not the other way around. What I try to say is that you already know how to win in chess, and you show up in a chess tournament just show them the “text book” victory which you learnt from your chess study and preparation.
Here are some of the chess studies and knowledge that I can offer to help you to win .
