Set up a coaching session on PlayChess!

by Arne Kaehler
7/27/2020 – Some might say chess is at its peak of popularity due to the coronavirus. People who have never played chess before are thinking, “There is no better time than now to learn how to play chess”. And they are right! I myself have been asked by a lot of friends if I could teach them how to play. Thanks to PlayChess.com I can teach more than one student at a time with ease. I quickly explain the steps needed to set up a coaching session in a short video!
Endgame theory constitutes the foundation of chess. You realize this in striking clarity once you obtain a won endgame but in the end have to be content with a draw in the end because of a lack of necessary know-how. Such accidents can only be prevented by building up a solid endgame technique. This is Karsten Müller‘s fi rst DVD and the grandmaster from Hamburg and endgame expert, here lays the foundation for acquiring such a technique. The fi rst part of his training series can be started without any endgame knowledge, only a knowledge of the rules of chess is assumed.

How to broadcast a coaching session

While some people are just learning how to play chess, it is very difficult for clubs and chess associations to meet up again and organize coaching sessions, trainings and analysis’ get-togethers. Luckily, PlayChess.com has the option to create a virtual clubroom online where you can continue coaching!

In this video I explained how to open a virtual room in PlayChess.com from your browser of choice. This way, all of your students can access the same training room and learn the mystical chess teachings you are ready to impart.

The video below guides you through the very first basic steps on how you can teach chess to your students. It also includes the usage of coloured arrows and boxes, an important tool for every serious trainer.
