1. Understanding your strength and weakness by analyzing the game
2. Middlegame tactics and calculation
3. Help to self-workout and provide materials for the same
4. Endgame
5. Selected Openings

I believe, the best way to improve is by analysing the games and making sure the same set of mistakes are not repeated. To begin with, I ask my students to send their recent tournament/serious online games to understand the strengths and weaknesses do a quick SWOT analysis. Our coaching will be tailored according to the strengths and weakness. From opening to Endgame, I will be able to help you to overcome your weak points in the game.
