Hi guys.
I'd like you to take part in a training experiment.
Especially anyone graded under 1600.
I have set up a coaching club Bates Motel and have tried
various methods of giving lessons so they will stick.
My latest effort, which at first I thought was a bit silly
has been met with a good reception by all concerned.
This one is designed to get everything from a well annotated game.
Face to face I'd know if it was time to move on. Over the net I've no idea.
I've seen other annotated games in other columns and to get the full benefit
I believe you have to print it out and go through everything slowly over a board.
Chess players are lazy, there is no quick fix but this method has something
going for it and just may need fine tuning.
The mouse click quick read, mouse click, quick read may work for some
but it clearly is not working for the majority.
I think with this method you will be able to go to a full set.
re-create the whole game and recall each note without going back to the stem game.
So give it a go, you have nothing to lose and perhaps something to learn.
It will not take long, but please do the replay/recap method.
See if it works for you.
I'm determined to get my guys up to 1800 at least.
And I'm doubly determined to get chess and a computer working together.
I just need to find the best method of coaching not face to face.
If you see a flaw, or it did nothing for you or you don't like it,
tell me - be blunt but please be open-minded.

Post feedback here.
Thanks Lads.
Just three piece of Feedback I've had so far...
"That was awesome! I enjoyed the annotations and especially the repetition of the game at different stages.
It really helped me to begin to put together what was going on......
...... look forward to more lessons in a similar presentation. Cheers!"
...
"Brilliant analysis. Very instructional. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us.
I think I can play through the first 16 moves and understand and recall the reasoning.
......
"I'm supposed to be doing the teaching but I think I learned a lot from that game too.
Excellent set of annotations, if you haven't already played through it then go and do so now.
In fact play through it twice! I also think the repitition is a good idea.
Wait a minute - did I just say that Geoff has had a good idea? I need to go and lie down... "
That last one came from an FM I have recruited into the Bates Motel teaching team. (a wise guy).
Cheers
