Grandmaster Aveskulov's Services
My primary service is general chess mentoring, active chess tutoring. This is the best and quickest way to become a stronger player. I'll cover many general and important areas as I teach you how and what to study in chess. I speak English, Russian and Ukrainian.
Each lesson normally lasts one hour, but longer sessions are possible. You'll get chess guidance and study material. I offer game analysis, both offline and online, and training games. I answer some questions by email.
All lessons I offer will be held on ICC with payment in chekels, or on FICS, with payment through 2CheckOut. I can give lessons from other sites if desired. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Cancel any time you like.
Always fun and productive are the blitz games with me. My game commentary and answers to your questions will become a platform to strengthening your play in that type of position. One hour of blitz or standard training games, including post mortem analysis, is only @$25.00/hr.

Analyzing one's own games is a difficult aspect of chess study. Linear thinking over the board may distract you from investigating crucial sidelines. A chess master often relies on pattern recognition. He searches his internal database of ~10,000 positions. After checking the match for accuracy, he applies the solution to the board play. I can show you these special methods as they apply to your games.
Chess analysis engines will generate accurate numerical assessments such as +3.5 and +0.23. But a computer can't explain why one move is good and another is bad and what considerations make your position lost or drawn instead of won. Detailed, honest analysis of one's own games is necessary. This is one of the main ways to improve your chess skills and to become a strong chess player.
One of the greatest chess players, Garry Kasparov, wrote in The Test of Time, "...the most important thing was accepting Botvinnik's axiom about the necessity of analytic work, especially careful analyses of one's own games. I distinctly realized that the foundation to the continuous growth of chess mastership is hidden here."
Unless we go through our past games and see why the mistakes cost us, progress is impossible. That's why you need a candid commentary about the strengths and weaknesses of your abilities and style. The cost of a detailed analysis of your game in cbv. format is $20.00 US. You will see how instructive your own games are when we analyze them. And, for an active online game analysis lasting 1 - 1.5 hours, the cost is $30.00.
Lectures on chess topics supplement your self-study. If you are interested in any chess subject, I'll create an appropriate lecture. Shortly after the order is placed the lecture will be held using Skype. Any reasonable number of persons in the lecture is welcome! The price of one lecture is $50.00 (90 minutes).
