Teaching methodology
I look for strengths and weaknesses of students and provide them with relevant material to improve their play. Classes include a variety of topics such as game analysis, developing an opening repertoire that fits the student’s style of play, typical middlegame ideas and structures, specific opening preparation for an opponent, calculation, visualization, endgame theory and anything else the student wants to learn.
