DrDave Chess Coaching and Publishing, based in Newton Abbot, offers a dedicated approach to improving chess skills for players at all levels.
DrDave, with his extensive experience and passion for the game, focuses on the importance of regular practice and analysis. He encourages frequent play, including slow-play games, and advises recording game moves in writing or a database. Reviewing these games, either solo or with others, helps players learn and grow effectively.
Highlighting the significance of studying tactics, openings, and endgames, DrDave recommends checking opening moves against reputable books or databases. This ensures players make optimal decisions and enhance their strategic understanding of the game.
While acknowledging the abundance of free online resources, DrDave emphasises the benefits of personalised coaching. He offers a free initial consultation to assess suitability and discuss coaching arrangements. To facilitate coaching, he requests players submit their last dozen games in formats like scoresheets, scans, typed moves, or PGN files.
DrDave is also keen to learn about players' current chess resources, such as books, DVDs, software, and websites. He offers face-to-face coaching sessions as well as remote sessions via phone, Skype, or chess servers.
For chess players in Newton Abbot and beyond, DrDave Chess Coaching and Publishing provides a tailored learning experience. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, DrDave is committed to helping you achieve your chess goals.
