Synopsis

The popularity of chess is no accident, as learning chess means improving basic skills (analysis, decision making, strategic thinking, stamina, and dealing with stress) while interacting meaningfully with other pupils. But how do you teach chess, what material do you use, is there a particularly successful method, how do you sell a chess curriculum, how do you motivate your pupils and monitor their progress? This compendium is for chess training at all levels, raises topics for discussion, and gets chess teachers at local schools to learn from top coaches, as well as the other way around. With ready-to-use teaching exercises.

About this title

Book Description

"This is an incredibly good idea for a series of books (..) There are likely to be hundreds of coaches clamoring to be included in the next volumes as a way of increasing their name recognition and their status."

Review

"It's rare that a collection of essays is uniformly excellent, but 'The Chess Instructor 2009' comes very, very close."
