Training Methods

If you are a serious student with long-term (1 year at least) plan of training (be with anyone or me) and really want to improve, I will surely be more than interested in teaching you and taking you to the next level.

Before starting, I need to see your last 4-6 months of tournament games, which will give me an idea about what you really require, unless you have some specific topic to work on.

We shall work in the direction of what you need, which shall include theme based games and positions, middlegame analyses, endgames, and much more. Along with these, we shall study Classics and analyze their games in-depth for building a strong understanding of basics.

I will also provide you with training material as well as additional material to help improve your game.
Whenever you talk with me during/before/after the tournament, you will always be motivated and psychologically strong, I can assure you these things.
