My Online Chess Lessons Update

https://onethousandpositionstochessmastery.blogspot.com/

For now, I have finished updating my online chess lessons.  This took much longer than I expected.

I started these online lessons thirty years ago.

My goal was to make this idea more clear...

The average club player is very likely to create a weakness in their position within the first dozen moves. Learning to identify and exploit these weaknesses will help you win more games.

I have rearranged all the posts in a way that should be more instructive.

Besides this, I have done a ton of proofreading, adding clarity where I thought that it was needed.  I'm happy with this for now, but I will probably do more proofreading in the future.

Some of the endgame stuff on the last page is a little too deep, even for me.  I plan to eventually edit or remove a few items.

I am open to feedback.  Maybe some things could be more clear or are not as useful as I thought they would be.

Best wishes,

John Coffey

My Online Chess Lessons

Today I am finishing a major revision to my online chess lessons that I have worked on for thirty years, with greater emphasis on...

The average club player is very likely to create a weakness in their position within the first dozen moves. Learning to identify and exploit these weaknesses will help you win more games.

This was always one of the major points of my lessons, but I felt that I needed to make this point more clear.

I have rearranged the games, updated the text, and added some new material.

My goal is to help club players of all skill levels reach the next plateau in their chess development, whatever that may be.

I am very happy with my changes.

P.S. At the Columbus Chess Club tonight, I am celebrating my birthday by bringing donuts.
