Welcome to the The Great Pawn Hunter Chess Tutorial.
The goal of this tutorial is to share the fun and excitement of our royal game with you.
Its aim is not to focus on one concept but to introduce many concepts that you need to learn,
to become a solid tournament level player. Remember to check out my online Book/Video store for the most sought after books/videos on chess. There is also an online guest book for your comments and suggestions. If you have found a good game that you would like to submit for the stories, please feel free to send it to my email address above
. I will be glad to take a look at it and will let you know what I think.
Now, all I ask, for you to do, is to try and teach what you have learned here to two or more people. You will be surprised at how much you will learn by trying to teach other people.
If you are just learning chess and it is a champion that you want to be then give this chess course a try. I will do my best to teach you as simply as I can...no big words...just chess pure and simple along with a little poetry, and a story or two. However, I will tell you now, though, learning the game is not always easy. Desire can lead to emotions both good, when things go your way, in over the board play, and bad, when they don't. That is why you need persistence, and a healthy smile, to get you over the bumpy rocks in the road.
You also need a learning plan to keep you from aimlessly shooting mistakes into the air. I can't provide you with desire or persistence. However, I can provide you with a learning plan.
The learning plan is based on a simple idea that has worked for me to pass many subjects. "If you take the time to write something clearly then you have made great strides toward understanding it." It is understanding that makes things second nature.
Wether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player, please read the lesson Learn like a Master Follow the P.A.C.K. Then, buy a book or a video from the online bookstore. Study the book and paste Blank chess diagrams into a notebook. Take plenty of notes. Relax in the comfort and knowledge that simply taking "clear" notes truly does work!
After this course, You should be between 1600 and 1900 U.S.C.F. strength. Don't be discouraged, you will lose games and have trouble with consistency during your learning process. It's normal.
Your notebook serves to slow you
down and focus your attention. It
also serves as an aid for chess masters
to evaluate your progress. Good Luck! All the Best.
