Teaching methodology

Nowadays many people try to study chess with memoryzing. I only believe in this when we come to the openings.Because in some openings we must memoryze the moves just one by one.Otherwise we could have bad positions. (just in the beginning)

My teaching method is to teach you the logic of moves.The Differences.In a short time you will be able to understand the differences between good move and a bad move.I have also some Endgame videos on my Youtube channel (unfortunately in Turkish)So you can also check that out. Knowing the endgame is absolutely essential, but I dont say memorize it. We will learn with its logic.
