Mircea Mesesan, one of the top players representing Lichfield in league chess, has kindly volunteered to lead four summer training sessions in June and July.
The sessions will build on the very well-received training led by Mircea last summer, and are appropriate for players up to at least an 1800 ECF level.
The themes for each session are based on GM Artur Yusupov's highly regarded "Build Up Your Chess" series:
- Monday 8th June 2026 - "Centralizing the pieces" (strategy)
- Monday 22nd June 2026 - "Mate in two moves" (calculation)
- Monday 13th July 2026 - "The opposition" (endgame)
- Monday 27th July 2026 - "The pin" (tactics)
Sessions will begin at 7:30pm in the upstairs room at The King's Head, and are open to all members.
Huge thanks to Mircea for sharing his expertise and ideas with other members in this way.
