Hi Chien
your daily course sounds like something I should definitely try. Can I start it with you any day from Monday 29th January onwards that suits you?

PS, I meant to apologize to you about some issues with days / dates earlier in the month, I didn’t realise when setting dates for games, while sitting at my desk, I was still using a December 25 calendar page. So any confusion was most likely my fault. Sorry!🙄

Hi Conor.
I just sent DM (direct message) to your chess com Inbox
Thank you.
The core of this training is Active learning
instead of the opposite way 'Passive leaning' (reading book / game annotation, watching video, browsing engine lines, solve puzzle by guessing, where you collect knowledge but your decision-making doesn’t improve)
Each question will be designed tailor made, according to student's need / level
and will be replied personally in friendly manner on daily base.
Think of having personal trainer, and even personal assistant that willing to answer other chess questions outside the course, e.g. preparing upcoming match or discussing/ analyzing your finished game.
* Tips for best outcome out of this training:
(A) Put pieces in real physical chess board. and try to solve by looking at it without moving pieces as if a real tournament (Over The Board / OTB) situation. and thinks few moves ahead (not satisfied with a linear answer only, but always assume opponent's all possible branches).
(B) Feel no pressure. Relax, have fun while learning.
You have full control of your own pace, as I will only respond back after you replied my last question.
(C) Some questions can be solved under 10 - 15 min.
but in some other more difficult, where you might not get inspiration yet within 10 - 15 min in one day, then you need not to push too hard, you can leave it for another day, sometime the inspiration is not coming right away.
or after 10 - 15 min on that day, you can share anything you thought, so I will know your thought process (strength, weakness) better.
even you can say 'I am totally blank'. then I will respond with 'very minimal hint' that I will never spoil the fun for you to find they key solution aka "Eureka moment"
A eureka moment, also known as an Aha! moment or eureka effect, refers to the sudden and often unexpected realization of a solution to a problem, or the understanding of a concept that was previously unclear. It's that feeling of sudden clarity and insight, like a lightbulb switching on in your mind. The term originates from the Greek word "heureka," meaning "I have found it," famously used by Archimedes when he was tasked with determining if a crown was made of pure gold or if it had been adulterated with silver. He supposedly realized the solution while taking a bath, noticing the water level rise as he submerged his body.
(D) I usually reply email under 12 hours
It is very fine and I would not mind at all when you ask (checking with me) if after more than 12 hours you haven't got my reply yet because I might occasionally overlook your email amid my other plenty emails from others.
If you can allocate 10–15 minutes per day (it does not have to be daily if your schedule is tight—the pace is fully flexible), I will personally guide you through this program.
I have helped many beginner, intermediate, and early advanced players improve their chess skills.
The only prerequisite is fluency in reading and writing chess notation, as our communication will take place via regular email exchanges.
Consistent effort and dedication are essential to achieve optimal results.
