What are we gonna do during a typical lesson?
1) Building your own opening repertoire based on your personal playing style.
2) Analyzing your personal games to find out your main weaknesses and make it go away.
3) Working on your positional understanding.
4) Reviewing the best games in chess history helping you to understand the magic of chess.
5) Covering the typical endgames to make your endgames technique better.
6) Playing some games with analysis to figure out your problems and solve them.
A great number of other things we can do depending on your personal preferences.
