Diagnosis:

1. Picket tends to open (semi-open) active game. He puts the game well. The modern theory - according to "Informator", "Encyclopedia", "New in Chess" - knows, but does not know the history, the old games, the old analyses, and this makes it difficult to draw up plans in the middle game.

2. He sees his tactics well, but does not see well opponent’s tactics. In complications, the depth variants are not counted, but he plays by instinct.

3. In the endgame he plays uncertainly, he is not familiar with typical endings.

4. He drops in time trouble, the reason is that the midgame plan is poorly prepared.

5. Too many tournaments, he does not have time to analyze his own game. Therefore, there is practically no opportunity and time to prepare for the competition.

6. There is no doubt that he is a talent. He can look to the future with hope.

Treatment:

1. To study the endgame on the games of Rubinstein, Botvinnik, Fayn's book "Basic Chess Endings".

2. To develop the count skill on games of Alekhin, Tal, Fisher, Kasparov.

3. To solve chess studies[4] - for the development of the count ability and objectivity.

4. To eliminate time-trouble:

a) To play training games, paying attention only on the time.

b) Trying to make the first 15 moves in a game in 30 minutes - this requires good preparation in the opening and connection with plans of the middlegame.

5. Trying to play less, to have time for homework.

6. Have a strict daily routine (including doing morning exercises).

From this record, in the workbook, you can understand the method that was used in school classes. Apparently, these studies were able to benefit - hardly the first three prize winners in Linares 94 at various times engaged in the school.

So now there is no school, but will it be again? Now the method is published and in sufficient detail. It is only a matter of finding a strong chess player with good positional and tactical understanding, be able to penetrate the youthful chess soul, having pedagogical talent. If there is such a school, it could act.
