    Beginner chess lessons at 1800 elo at home or by webcam

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    I propose to give lessons from beginner level up to 1800 level, for all ages (from 6 or 7 years old) and whatever your goal (beat a friend, his dad or become a competitor) . I have particularly a very good contact with children and teenagers. The idea is to learn without worrying, in complete relaxation.
    Course schedule:
    The lessons take place by Skype, via the sharing of my screen (and the diagrams that I select). Sometimes we will have to do some exercises on Liches to make sure that the concepts have been understood. The Internet has the advantage of efficiency, the diagrams being already ready, it even goes faster than live and I could see that this support does not prevent the creation of human links. However, for the students of the Orleans conurbation, I can with great pleasure welcome you to my home.
    All my lessons are prepared with great care and are truly individualized. On each theme, the lessons are therefore adapted to the level and objectives of the student.
    Depending on the wishes of the students as well as their strengths and weaknesses, I propose to address the following aspects:
    - The openings :
    I make sure that my students have acquired the essential principles of openness (rapid development, takeover of the center, securing the king). Then, after studying the student's play style (rather positional or more attacking), we build, adapt or deepen his repertoire of openings. The idea is as much to understand the spirit of an opening as to know long variants by heart. After learning the theoretical basics, we will see the games played by the best players practicing your favorite openings of my student.
    - Party backgrounds:
    It is mainly about building plans. A chess player should think of himself as the general of an army. And no general shows up on the battlefield without a well-established plan, under penalty of stinging defeat! For this, we can also look at the different schemas and attacks of the opponent's weaknesses (weaknesses of the king or weakness of the pawn structure).
    Beyond the tactical sacrifices immediately winning the game, we may also be led to see when to sacrifice equipment to develop a sustainable initiative.
    We will also sometimes have to study some recurring pawn structures in the openings made by my students and how to maneuver based on that.
    - The finals
    It is sometimes a bit tedious but it is an essential factor of progression. The Russians, who dominated chess for decades, used to start by studying the finals. It is rather what I recommend. This is all the more essential since very often at the end of the game, time is short and fatigue begins to be felt. Knowledge of the most classic final patterns therefore allows you to earn many half points.
    - Analysis of your games
    Learning from mistakes is a great way to progress. We will therefore engage in this exercise whenever necessary.
    - Training plan
    Often when you want to progress you don't know where to start. I therefore propose an hour or two of lessons devoted to how to maximize the time spent studying chess.
    - Psychological aspects of the game
    How to rebound after a defeat? How not to ignite too much after a series of victories? How to manage the pressure of competition? How to manage your time in the different cadences? How to prepare against an adversary that we know and that scares us? Here are some of the questions that this module will answer (non-exhaustive list).
    Do not hesitate to contact me, I am at your disposal for more information!

    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    My name is Benoît. I learned to play chess at the age of nine (I have 33 today) and I was immediately seduced by this game combining memory, strategy and calculation. That is why and I quickly joined a club.

    A year later, I am a departmental pupil champion before accumulating departmental and regional titles in the youth categories. Three or four years after my beginnings, I crossed the symbolic bar of 2000 élo. At that time, I played a lot in tournaments. I notably participated in the French youth championships twice. During my adolescence, I had the opportunity to play against young people who subsequently became masters or grand masters and to beat some of them, whether on the occasion of friendly or official games (Sébastien Mazé, Sébastien Joy, Sébastien Feller, David Housieaux etc.).

    At the age of 14, I even had the honor of successfully facing our national Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in slow game (3 or 4 years younger than me but already more than 2200 elo!). Not having at the time the possibility of taking private lessons, which would have helped me to progress, and being unattractive by the study of the game by books, I then stagnated a little. At 16, I started playing less, more attracted by the joyful discoveries of adolescence than by tournament rooms, before completely stopping playing for a dozen years (with the exception of a few games on internet to keep control).

    About four years ago, I started playing again, but I had very little time to practice (I was then editor of two cultural magazines). That didn't stop me from becoming the 2016-2017 Loiret champion in front of very good players for my first individual competition since my recovery. It seems that chess is like cycling: it is not forgotten! My current ranking is around 2060.

    Tired of the daily pressure of managing a cultural magazine, I chose to return to my first passion: chess. I want to transmit it and my knowledge. In addition, I am very happy to practice in a field where human and pedagogy count as much as pure knowledge. As a journalist, I also took great pleasure in training our new recruits.

    I propose to give lessons from the beginner level to a 1900 level, for all ages (from 6 or 7 years old) and whatever your goal (beat a friend, his dad or become a competitor) . In particular, I have very good contact with children and teenagers. The idea is to learn without taking the lead, in complete relaxation.

    Chess, how to quickly master chess.
    I give chess lessons to students wishing to improve their level of chess. I can teach beginner and intermediate students. For beginners, I can teach them basic chess such as how to set up the board, how pieces move and are captured, castling, check and checkmate..... For intermediate students, I can teach them tactics, openings, traps, tricks and mistakes in opening........ What sets me apart from other teachers is that I will teach you a way to learn on your own. A way that you can improve while you are at home from the comfort of your couch.

    Chess class for beginners: Learn how to move the pieces and understand basic principles and build a strong foundation.
    Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

    "Strategic Mastery in Chess", chess more than a game
    Chess is beneficial because: 1. Develop critical and strategic thinking. 2. Improves concentration and attention. 3. Encourages creativity and problem solving. 4. Teaches patience and perseverance. 5. Promotes social skills and mutual respect. 6. Contributes to mental health, reducing stress and improving cognitive function. In short, chess is not only a game, but an invaluable tool for personal development and mental well-being.
