"I consider the following three factors necessarry for the success: first, the conscience of one's own strenghts and weaknesses; second, an exact understanding of the adversary's strenghts and weaknesses; third, a higher goal than a one-moment satisfaction." - A. Alehin
What is "The Personalized Program" ?
It is an evaluation that we make to you, considering your games. As a result of this evaluation, you will receive: the analysis of your games, the general conclusions on your game (strenghts and weaknesses), a study program suitable to your requirements, and a learning method.
Our main idea is to offer you a “diagnosis" meant to help you understand your own style, to reveal your strenghts and weaknesses, to show you how to eliminate your faults and how to develop your skills during your game.
How do we evaluate you ?
First of all, you'll have to fill in an easy form about yoursef, your category, your experience, your aims, the time you spend studying and so on. Afterwards, we we are waiting for you to send us by e-mail 15 of your last games, accompanied by your notes and comments, if any. We'd like you to include in these games lost ones as well, difficult ones or games played with more powerful adversaries.
After analysing your games, we'll send to you by e-mail :
The analysis of all the important aspects of your games and ending conclusions
A detailed characterization of the strengths and weaknesses that we remarked during your game
An adapted study program, a guide of the domains you'll have to work on
Your most suitable learning method, considering even your time
Why do I have to analyze my own games ?
Our own games are closer to us than any others's.
The anaysis of our own games is part of our self-cognition as chess players. It is of greatest importance that we be aware of our own strenghts and weaknesses, so as Alehin notices. We've played our own games, solving the problems that interfered. By analyzing them, we can examine and make clear the criteria that guided us during the game, we can establish which our mistakes were or where we played less exactly.
During a chess player's value increasement, one of the edges of his cognition may be left far behind from another one. A critical analysis is requested, and also the objective appreciation of every move and the severe criticism of the errors. All these checkings reveal the strenghts and the weaknesses during the openings, middle games and finals. The conclusions offer a correct orientation in establishing the further development.
Who is the “Personalized Program" addressed to ?
Our program is addressed to all the chess cathegories up to the value of international master, with no age restriction, to all those who want to make a step forward in the chess field.
We'd like to place our experience and our work in the service of those who seriously bend over chess, who like studying a difficult game, who appreciate with critical sense each of their moves, and don't long for easily obtainable glory.
Why would I need someone's help ?
Crossing the ocean by yourself is a very difficult task. But with the help of an experienced companion, the ocean can turn into oceans of knowledge.
Who will analyse my games and who will evaluate me ?
The analysis of the games, the evaluation, all the “Personalized Program" will especially be made for you by an experienced player, an international master or a great international master, whom we collaborate with.
On our site there is the offer for these chess players' value cathegories and we attract players with different styles, of different ages, with different learning methods. So, for each customer we can offer the expertise of the most suitable player.
What aspects of my game are to be analyzed ?
Every aspect. The cognition of the openings- principles and exact alternatives; the cognition of the principles of the middle game and of the typical positions; the correctness of the position's appreciation; the cognition of the game's plans to correspond to it's requests; the accuracy of the calculation and other aspects.
We'll concentrate on the key-moments of the game, in order to descover the errors, the moment when the appreciation of the position changed or when the opportunity of changing the game's course was not exploited. We'll indicate as well new possibillities and plans for the positions that occur.
Is "The Personalized Program" a chess lesson ?
A chess lesson follows a certain theme. Considering our evaluation, you won't deal with a theme, but with the analysis of all the important aspects that we've encountered during your games.
Our masters will help you both with chess ideas and with technical pieces of advice, thinking rules, rational analysis principles and decision-taking principles.
Is this program also addressed to children ?
Of course it is! Anyone can use this program. If you are the parent of a child who likes the sport of mind, we'd love to help you in turning him into a great chess player. You'll send us some of his or her games, maybe even those that he or she is playing with you or any other family friends and we'll decide upon the first steps to be followed. Moreover, besides the personalized program, which requires a lot of work for the experienced chess players, we'll send you by e-mail a material about the chess for children, especially for his or her level! We are looking forward to hear from you!
Is this program also addressed to groups, to schools ?
This program is addressed to any chess player. If there is a group we'll evaluate each member of that group separately, with a price-cut. We are waiting for you to contact us by e-mail, at the address: chess@chessarea.com to talk about this aspect, considering the number of the members of that group and the number of the games to be analysed.
