Are you tired of losing at chess? Are you not improving and repeatedly making the same kind of mistakes? Are chess books not helping you? Is your current training method not working? Would you like to beat your opponents more often? I any of these questions apply to you, then read on!
More than ten years ago the above questions all applied to me. I felt frustrated with my chess playing, was making the same stupid mistakes over and over again and felt the need for some kind of “treatment”. Back then I was fortunate to get acquainted with IM Hans Bouwmeester, who used to be the national coach of the Dutch Chess Federation. He is famous for having trained such players as IGM Jan Timman, IGM John van der Wiel, IGM Paul van der Sterren and many others. After some tenacious pleading I was allowed an interview! I must say we hit it off well, also because of the love for piano music that we both share.
I have trained with Hans for about 8 years and have no regrets. We worked on my overall chess skills such as analysis and understanding, and also on psychology and an opening repertoire. Also I remember being very blunder prone in those days, but somehow that weaknesses evaporated! All in all, I improved my play significantly.
Now here is the news: you can experience this too! The only question that remains is: How?
I have received a lot of requests over the past few months from people that wanted to train with me. However, most of them did not feel comfortable with paying 30,= euro’s per hour for private coaching sessions. I have therefore designed a chess improvement membership site called Better Your Chess. In this way I can keep the cost of lessons significantly lower and you will still experience a sense of private coaching!
