Zonal Prep: Towards a Master title - Tony Dowden

This five-week course aimed at 1200-1800 players will help you boost your chess before the Christchurch Zonal at the end of January. It will suit players without a coach as well as complement existing coaching. The key idea of this course is to teach you how to train effectively and plan for your ongoing improvement. In short, this course will focus on what you need to do to become a stronger player.
