There are more than 30 than have joined, but who have not moved yet.A lot of students have joined and requested not to participate in endgame studies. They only want to work through tactical problems. We have the problems on our database ready to work, but it will be the second week of February before we have our software ready to distribute different types of problems.
So at present we are only working endgame paroblems. Soon we will add simple mates for beginners, mate in one, and mate in two.
We are asking for volunteers who are willing to work with beginners on these types of problems too. As the project grows it will require more volunteers. So if you would like to teach beginners how to mate with major pieces please message me.
We have a message board for everyone to start their own personal training journal. What are your plans? How do you intend to improve your game?
Thanks!

I've put digrams of the position we are studying on our forum. Check this out and let me know if this is worth the effort.

Originally posted by petrovitchWhen I go to analyze board, instead of moves I get "Sorry, this game has no move history". It doesn't matter though, those problems are all available on your site (very nice and perspective site, by the way.)

it has been very helpful (if frustrating). I am starting to look at the relationship of the pieces differently. Although that stupid k-b-n vs k is a sonofa gun!

Originally posted by tomtom232The only thing that bothers me about this problem is that Jeremy Silman will not teach it. His excuse is that it rarely occurs in tournament chess. I have hundreds of examples on my database taken from grandmaster games. I think it teaches you how to use your pieces together as has been suggested.

It's difficult to learn, but don't you feel good after you've solved it?

If you want to see just your games then add:
&student=
and your student id
If you want to see all of the games from a certain position then add:
&fen=
and the fen id
If you want to see just a single game add:
&game=
and the game id
For example, if you want to see all of the games played with KBN v K then you would add:
&fen=18
Refresh the browser to get another instance of this set piece game.
I think everyone finds humor in the Saavedra position.
&fen=4
Originally posted by petrovitchyes it does...plus it demonstrates the power of discovered checks...just the threat of it forces the other side to give sway. I used that threat a couple times to get black to to move where I wanted him.
