Psychology and its impact on tournaments & preparation

I have an individual approach to my students. I look for strengths and weaknesses, and give them relevant material to improve their targeted areas of their play. I also focus on their psychological approach to chess and aim to bring awareness to their hidden systems that negatively effect their games.
