At the advanced level, talent is common and work ethic plus method is what separates players. This program is for committed, competitive students — juniors playing rated tournaments and ambitious adults — who want professional-grade training structure.
Training is built around the student's actual competitive needs: their openings, their weaknesses, their upcoming events. There is no generic syllabus at this level; there is a training plan.
What advanced training covers
- Deep calculation: structured calculation training — candidate moves, visualisation exercises, and evaluating complex positions accurately.
- Opening preparation: building and maintaining a real repertoire, understanding middlegame plans arising from your openings, and preparing specifically for opponents.
- Strategic mastery: pawn structures, piece play, prophylaxis, and decision-making in unclear positions.
- Endgame precision: theoretical endings and the practical technique to convert advantages under pressure.
- Tournament skills: preparation routines, time management, handling losses, and playing to the tournament situation.
- Serious game analysis: deep review of the student's tournament games — finding not just mistakes but the thinking errors behind them.
How the training is structured
Advanced students typically train in 1:1 or small semi-private settings, where the coach can go deep on the student's games and preparation. Sessions include training games with analysis, targeted puzzle sets, opening work, and review of tournament performances. The coach acts as a trainer in the full sense: planning, accountability, and honest assessment.
What a training week looks like
A typical week for an advanced student might include one or two live sessions with the coach, a set of graded calculation puzzles, review of one tournament or practice game, and focused opening study. The exact mix depends on the calendar: far from events, the emphasis is on building skills and repairing weaknesses; close to events, it shifts to sharpening the repertoire and match readiness. The coach plans this rhythm with the student rather than leaving it to chance.
Is this program right for you?
This is a demanding program for players who compete — or are preparing to compete — in rated events and are willing to work between sessions. If that describes the student, the trial class (a working session, not a sales pitch) will make the fit clear.
Start with a free trial class
The best way to understand how the coaching works is to experience it. A free trial class lets the student meet the coach, join a real lesson, and see the teaching style first-hand — with no obligation. After the trial, the coach shares honest feedback on the student's level and which format would suit them best.

Frequently asked questions
What level is advanced training for?
Committed competitive players — typically juniors playing rated tournaments and serious adult competitors. If you are unsure, the trial working session lets the coach assess the fit honestly.
Do coaches help with specific tournament preparation?
Yes — preparation for upcoming events, including opening preparation and practical tournament skills, is a core part of the program.
How much practice is expected between sessions?
Serious improvement at this level needs regular work between sessions: puzzles, game review and opening study. The coach sets assignments matched to the student's schedule.
Is 1:1 required for advanced training?
It is strongly recommended — the depth of game analysis and personalised preparation that advanced training needs works best one-to-one, though small semi-private groups can work for the right students.
