Announcing My New, Upgraded Coaching Program!

Introduction

Hello, chess friends rated 2000+ FIDE!⁣
⁣
This isn't an ordinary announcement post...⁣
⁣
Rather than telling you about my new program, I'd like to share some of the challenges that have come up for my students. ⁣
⁣

Challenge 1: Inconsistent Training ⁣

⁣
This can manifest in a few ways:⁣
⁣
- Missing a weekly lesson, then having to re-learn the skill developed from the previous lesson 'from scratch' due to a lack of practice;⁣
⁣
- Learning from numerous people who need to be more closely coordinated leads to more confusion than wisdom for the student. (This was one of my biggest frustrations when coaching privately a decade ago when, in some cases, I spent most of my lesson time helping students unlearn bad habits picked up from another coach.) ⁣
⁣
- There needs to be more accountability and direction to avoid erratic training outside of lessons or overreliance on a coach for improvement. ⁣
⁣

Challenge 2: Insufficient Volume Of Training ⁣

⁣
I realised in 2024 that I had underestimated how much you could impact someone's life and chess in just 1-2 hours. ⁣
⁣
At the same time, you don't become a chess master from one or two hours of chess training a week. ⁣
⁣
When your opponents are working hard, you have two ways to beat them: ⁣
⁣
1. Work harder than them; or⁣
⁣
2. Work smarter than them. ⁣

How This Relates To My Program

⁣
My new program, 'The Chess Improvement Mastermind - ELITE', is my 'Done For You' way of working more intelligently on your chess. ⁣
⁣
I've just opened a 'beta' version of the program that will run from March 16 to April 20. ⁣
⁣
It's limited to FIVE students, closing on March 29. ⁣

Why Just Five Students?

⁣
The reason for this limit is that you'll be getting a complete system for improvement from me, combining:⁣
⁣
- A recorded curriculum for getting to 2300+ FIDE;⁣
- Daily training material from me; ⁣
- 24/7 access to me; ⁣
- A 'High Performance' Workshop from Apr 18-20, delivered by me;⁣
- Three two-hour group lessons from me every second Sunday, 8-10pm GMT+7 time. ⁣
- Weekly 2-hour private lessons from me. ⁣
⁣
The price is premium, and so is the program. ⁣
⁣
I've held nothing back to help you improve your chess as much as possible. ⁣

This Isn't For Everyone

⁣
If I accepted anyone into the program, it would lose a lot of its value, and I would be stretched too thin, unable to do everything I can to help you improve your chess as much as possible. ⁣
⁣
I'm indifferent to whether you join - if you're not a good fit, someone else reading this post will be. ⁣
