What do you get from the tournament (if you don’t win a prize)?
- Experience
We play with a long time control (45'+30"), closer to real OTB tournament conditions. This is a way for you to prepare for OTB tournaments or just to improve your skills. When you play rapid or blitz, you don’t have enough time to calculate. With 45 minutes on your clock you can do this and this is where your calculation skills improve.
- I’m going to analyze 5 top games of every games and publish the analysis on Youtube
This is a way for you to learn where you made mistakes, not just blunders, but strategical mistakes that took you to the wrong direction. This is what chess engine doesn’t show.
- Every player will get personal recommendations about what to improve and how
After the tournament I will be in touch with every participant to explain his (her) strong and weak sides and I can also give some recommendations.
Please, watch the full video invintation and learn how to submit the registration form!
Seу you at the tournament!
