“Why do Some Players
Play BETTER Than Others?”

Really, why? A lot of people play and study chess. However, only 1-3% of players have really good achievements (titles, prizes…). What is different about this successful minority from the rest?

It is NOT a matter of talent. I have observed thousands of different players, and I can state it with confidence. Yes, you need to have chess talent for the highest chess achievements (over 2600-2700 rating). However, anyone can become a titled player and get +200-300 rating points.

It depends on your TRAINING.
At the same time I know a lot of players who study chess 8 hours a day (more than many GMs), but don’t have any real progress. Thus, the major factor here is not how much you train, but HOW you train.
Here we come to one of my favourite topics – an effective training.

Lack of Chess School.

“Education in chess goes on in a most haphazard fashion.” (E.Lasker)

There is no system of education in chess. There was a system in former USSR (and it gave great results), but that has long passed.

A chess player (or a chess teacher) is a job; and the same applies to all other professions, it requires a special system of preparation.
For some strange reason many chess players don’t understand this. They think that it is enough to buy some chess books, to read them, to have some practice, and “voila” – you are a strong chess player. Smile

What if doctors (let’s say surgeons) start using the same method of learning? Luckily, they don’t do it. Otherwise they would sometimes cut off something by mistake. Smile

What is the Solution?

In order to progress in chess, you need to not just train, but to train the RIGHT things. You need to have a training program (training plan), which will give you a comprehensive system of chess knowledge. You need to acquire the necessary skills at the right time.

Also you need to use EFFECTIVE training methods, which REALLY give you improvement.

It is my intention to help you with for this purpose; I have developed a special course “Self-taught Grandmaster”.

If you want to progress in chess, BUT you:

• Live in a small city.
• Don’t have a chess coach.
• Don’t have a lot of time for training.
• Don’t have an opportunity to play in strong tournaments regularly.
• Want to get MORE benefit out of your training.

Then my course is exactly for You!

What is the Point
of “Self-taught Grandmaster”?

I have combined the successful experience of: 
Thousands of my pupils.

Now you can get the most effective training methods, which have proved its high efficiency.
I will show you WHAT to do, HOW to do it and what MATERIALS you should use. You will get a clear guide, a clear map for your chess progress.

One of the biggest problems concerning chess teachers and authors is a lack of responsibility. Chess teachers (authors) do NOT care about your progress. Your chess results may not change or even go down – no one cares.
