The idea behind this book is for you to 'play' as in a real game,
and it is my job to ensure you have a pleasant time while training.
I suggest you take at least an hour and a half for each game and as
your coach I will indicate when to guess the moves. Sometimes there
will be suggestions - including tricky ones - to measure your
concentration level. The ideas behind the moves are always
explained. Points are awarded for the 'right answers' as well as
for some other moves, and at the end there is a general assessment
plus a review of some of the things to be learned from the game.
During my coaching period I was able to witness how motivating it
is for kids to receive points for the right answers, their 'lives
are at stake' when they try to find the answers, and it is a
challenge much appreciated by them. Later I also noticed a similar
effect with adults although, unlike the kids, the older students
try to hide it. The final score is not that important; it is not
scientifically based. But of course the more points you get the
better you 'would have played'. The effort you put into trying to
find the best move every time is what matters most. I firmly
believe it really helps to learn a little more about playing chess
with every game. The methodology recommended for solving the
exercises is the 'old-school' one of using a piece of paper to
cover the text and scrolling down the page as you advance.
