Student Handbook

• Thinking routineThe seven questions to go through every move, and a pocket card to read before a game. Free to read.
• MiddlegameDetailed theory on static and dynamic play, attack, defence, prophylaxis, exchanges and converting an advantage.
• OpeningsHow to build and expand a repertoire, with new ideas of my own and how I found them.
• EndgamesWhat to study, how to play practical endgames, and endgame positions to solve.
• TournamentsPreparing for an event and an opponent, the game day, and a sample analysis of one of my own games.
• ExercisesPositions to solve on an interactive board, with the solution one move at a time. New positions are added regularly.
• Training logLog your daily training and how each day went. I can follow it too, so we use it in class.

The handbook is only open to the students I coach. If you're one of them, send me your email in class and I'll give you access. The thinking routine is open to everyone, so you can see what the handbook is like.
