"Dear Prospective Student,

I have developed a very interesting and effective approach to teaching chess at all levels, from beginners to masters, for all of my students. For many years, I have worked hard to learn and explore the best methods of training and teaching chess players in the different theoretical areas, known in modern practical chess, including openings, middlegame, endgame, strategy, tactics, positional play, thinking process, and chess psychology among many others. Thus, I managed to create a new unique system of coaching, which proved to be effective with each of my students, who suddenly began improving much faster and visibly. The essence of my new idea was in personalizing my lessons as much as I possibly could! When using my training system, I first focus on those of my students' weaknesses that most often manifest in their personal styles of play, so that each of my students masters the most important skills they need in their current chess developmental stage in a very short time, ensuring optimal results when playing tournament chess. This is a good approach to stimulating each student maximally, which, in turn, gives them the vigor to deal with more and more complex chess theory with ease. My whole system is based on creating the willingness to study in my students, which is always the driving force needed for any aspiring chess player to truly succeed in chess! So, if you really want to improve your play, to become a very strong chess player and beat your opponents with ease, you will certainly need an even stronger chess tutor! A professional trainer will be able to both teach you the things you fail to achieve at your current level, and to show you these things in such a way, that you truly understand the subtleties of the game of chess. Not all chess players, who also claim to be trainers, can do that – only a qualified tutor can – one who has devoted most of his time to sharpening not only his chess skills, but also his teaching skills, so you will certainly gain a lot of benefits, if you happen to choose me to be your personal chess coach.

To your chess success,

FM Valeri Lilov"
