Dear Chess Friends!

What is your playing style? Do you prefer to play positionally or you are more a tactical player? Or just a player with a well-developed ability to calculate and visualize? As for me, I’m more a tactical player with good calculation skills. However, my weak side is misunderstanding of unfamiliar positions.

Why do I ask such a question? Your opening repertoire should reflect your playing style. For example, if you are a good positional player who tries to avoid tactics, you’d better choose closed or semi-closed positions with long plans. Philidor Defense, Giuoco Piano or Caro-Kann Defense are good choices in such a case.

However, if you are a tactical player, you’d better play sharp and open (or semi-open positions). And the best choice in such a case is Sicilian Defense (maybe French Defense as well). You know that Sicilian Defense contains a lot of variations. Which one to choose?

Actually, it’s up to you – the one you feel most comfortable. I chose Kan Sicilian and I would like to share my knowledge of this variation on our next webinar 94th “Black Repertoire: How to Play Kan Sicilian for a Win?” and I’m happy to invite you there.

Just to clarify what Kan Sicilian is: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6

I’m going to explain the main concept of this opening, show typical plans for black and which plans expect from white. And, of course, I’ll demonstrate the most common lines so that you may start applying this opening in your games.

Join the webinar, learn a new opening and defeat white!

The webinar starts on Sunday (12th of September) at 10 a.m. (EDT), 2 p.m. (GMT), 5 p.m. (Moscow time). This webinar is free.

I'm 34. I live in Russia, Novosibirsk. I learned to play chess when I was 5. I regularly won prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship and Siberia Chess Championship among juniors. I'm a champion of Novosibirsk City Chess Club at 2002 and a champion of Novosibirsk at 2019.


I got Master's Degree in Economics at Novosibirsk State University and also played for its chess team.


Today I am focusing on teaching chess online and offline. The reason why I do this is because I feel happy when see how my students achieve success.

 

I teach juniors since 2002. Almost all of my students were ranked. Some of them got prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship.
I also work with adults.

 

I will teach you how to find tactical strikes in certain position types and how to classify them. I can help you to improve you calculational ability. I also teach you chess openings and I believe you know how important they are. According to the statistics right-playing of the opening makes from 30 to 60% of your success (the exact number depends on your level).
