A sample schedule can be found here: http://www.princetonchessacademy.com/5334.html The blog I maintained here is non-technical. There is no chess diagram on this blog. It's all talks, but no actions. :-) I am starting a new blog which will be more chess-problem oriented. It's not new, because I have used blogspot 6 years ago. My old one "One move checkmate" is still sitting there quietly. The new blog is called “Coach Andy's Corner". I am focusing on the following right now:
- Daily Briefing - Endgame study - Youtube videos of current events Here is the site: https://coachandyscorner.blogspot.com/ Let's wish this project can last longer. |
