Dear Chess Friends!

I always say to my students: “The game is not over, until the scoresheets are signed!” What means that you shouldn’t lose concentration until the end of the game even if you believe that your position is absolutely winning. Now we mainly play on Internet and there are no scoresheets, no need to shake hands or stop the clock, but it doesn’t mean that you should relax after you get extra material, for example.

Moreover, it’s highly recommended to play focusing even more on your opponent possibilities, make simple, but solid moves with the main idea to not allow any counter-play for your opponent! Emanuel Lasker said: "The hardest game to win is a won game.” Often, reaching a favorable position makes it harder to win due to the additional pressure. At the same time your opponent understands that he loses the game, but doesn’t want to give up and tries to find anything that can potentially lead to a counter-play or a complicated position, where you may make a mistake!

Chess players (even strong club players, not only beginners) from time to time lose the games, because they underestimate the opponent and his possibilities. That’s why I decided to devote my next 56th webinar to this very important topic!

Welcome to my next 56th webinar “How to Keep Concentration to the Very End of The Game” where I’ll provide you with several helpful tips and demonstrate GMs’ games to show that concentration is very important and you should never stop and relax during a game. Let’s learn by someone’s mistakes rather than repeat same mistakes regularly.

The games played by top grandmasters I’m going to demonstrate on the webinar (and, of course, explain the ideas behind their moves):

  • Mikhail Tal – Efim Geller
  • David Navara – Anish Giri
  • Frederick Yates – Frank Marshall

Come to the webinar, learn how to keep concentration to the very end and win won games more!

The webinar starts on Sunday (15th of November) at 9 a.m. (EST), 2 p.m. (GMT), 5 p.m. (Moscow time). This webinar is free.

Hi!
My name is Victor Neustroev. I'm a FIDE Master with Elo rating 2305.


Experienced chess coach specializing in tactics and openings. An author of educational chess courses on different learning platforms.

The coach of the champion of Siberia among girls under 9!

Affordable rates! A test lesson is also possible!

I'm 34. I live in Russia, Novosibirsk. I learned to play chess when I was 5. I regularly won prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship and Siberia Chess Championship among juniors. I'm a champion of Novosibirsk City Chess Club at 2002 and a champion of Novosibirsk at 2019.


I got Master's Degree in Economics at Novosibirsk State University and also played for its chess team.


Today I am focusing on teaching chess online and offline. The reason why I do this is because I feel happy when see how my students achieve success.

 

I teach juniors since 2002. Almost all of my students were ranked. Some of them got prizes at Novosibirsk region Championship.
I also work with adults.

 

I will teach you how to find tactical strikes in certain position types and how to classify them. I can help you to improve you calculational ability. I also teach you chess openings and I believe you know how important they are. According to the statistics right-playing of the opening makes from 30 to 60% of your success (the exact number depends on your level).
Please, check my youtube videos to know how I teach and what you will achieve working with me.
