Rook Level - Warriors [ 1200 – 1600 ]
This Level players take chess seriously and they won’t lose game with normal unorthodox players and this level players will be the chess hero in their small town or schools. So after the kids become serious in chess we will start teaching Endgames First!!
In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame beforeeverything else, for whereas the endings can be studied andmastered by themselves, the middle game and the openingmust be studied in relation to the endgame
Warriors [ 1200 – 1600 ]
Endgame is the main subject and key on this level. Without endgame knowledge you can not complete the game or convert the advantage into a win so we teach more endgame chapters to the children to understand the endgame, “If you improve endgame knowledge your overall game strength will also improve you can gain 200-300 ELOs by studying Endgames “ said by famous chess books author Mark Dvoretsky, If you know endgame well it means that you already have some valuable weapon in your pocket, the advantage you get against your opponent if you know how to play endgame well and your opponent does not.
We teach the endgames depends on the kids level of understanding , Since we started basic endgame in the previous level itself ,we go little deep in Endgames King and Pawn Endgame, Rook endgames, Bishop Endgames and other essential endgames , in simple terms you cannot proceed without knowing the destinations ,likewise without endgame knowledge you cannot become a Good Chess Player. Of course we won’t miss the Tactical and Strategy part also.
Queen Level –The Commander (Rated /National Level Players [ 1600 – 1800 ]
If you got on this level it means you are already strong, very solid chess player which knows a lot about all stages of the game of chess. Keep working on your middle game, strategy and tactics. We improvise the training we give little tough practices like Blindfold chess ,
Simultaneous Play ( One person plays chess with many person at a time ) these practices will make them stronger in their game ,we motivate them to play blindfold chess often and solve the chess puzzles also without moving the pieces for deep calculation.
You are basically only see the chess board with no pieces on it, but you can move these empty squares and play chess (because you know that knights are on g1 and b1, Rooks are on a8 and h8 and so on). During the game you have to keep all the pieces in your head, since they are invisible which is hard in the beginning but over the time you will play good with blindfold chess also ,but remember practice this play with weak players first!!.
Blindfold chess helps to develop player’s visualization ability and eliminates most blunders. All Grand Masters are able to play blindfold chess well,Kids will be advised to go more Rating Tournaments to play for long hour games.
King Level – Champions[Rating1800 – 2000 ]
A man surprised is half beaten. – Proverb
The Final Level in our Academy , This is the Level your kid should have to focus more on Openings , The Players should create their own opening repertoire, you have to surprise your opponent with new opening moves and must be well updated with latest opening moves that played in the masters level . As in the proverb if your opponent is surprised and struggles in the Opening means your winning chances will be more brighter than your Opponent, this practice is called home preparation you will gain enormous confidence and you will have much time difference(extra time) in your chess clock to gain advantage in the game .The players have to choose the openings depends on the players style of play and their liking of the opening.
Ideally, you should know very well 2-3 openings for white and 2 for Black. The key to advancing to the expert level here is to analyse your own games. After the game, sit down with a chessboard, paper and pen and go over the game move by move writing down thoughts on your own and your opponent’s moves. Only then you may check your game with a chess engines software.
The number #1 mistake chess players make, they either do not analyse their games at all or analyse them by using chess program right away. This is a big mistake which slows down chess progress.The main idea of analysis is not to look at what computer thinks was a good move, but to look for that move yourself! Do the self analysis if you can’t find your mistake ask the Engine or the coach, but don’t ask the engine straight away.
. Also it is great idea to go over GM games and think them over. The best way to go over these high level games is to first go over all the moves without author’s comments and only second time read the comments and annotations. This works great with the openings too. This level you should seriously get in into the opening part.
After this level we advise the kids to go to the Next Level Coaching, We give further guidance for your Improvement.
