| Event Description | |
| World renowned trainer and popular chess author, GM Jacob Aagaard will offer an intensive camp (3 hours per day, total 15 hours) for the week of Aug 9th to the 13th for USCF 2200+ players, with the goal to break through FIDE 2400 and become an FIDE International Master. Gold member gets 15% off.
We offer spectator options to U2200 players. If spots are still available after July 2th, we will allow camp up for USCF 2100 players for 10% extra fees.
In GM Aagaard's own words -
From August 9th – August 13th, I will host a camp for players wanting to break out and make the IM-norms and the title a reality.
In order to do this, we are taking a starting point in YOUR games. Send up to 10 games at least 2 weeks in advance. Based on the submissions from all the participants, I will identify the main parts of your games that you need to improve on and provide clear training paths forward.
For this reason, I cannot tell you right now what the content of the camp will be. I have a lot to say and will design the camp entirely according to your needs, with at least 5 different themes covered over the 5 days and clear structured study plans for how to work on these areas after the camp, delivered to all participant in a PDF booklet.
There will be homework for each lesson. I will send out ten sheets of 6 positions, that I will ask you to spend 30-45 minutes on before each lesson. Please do not check the solutions with computer programmes in advance of the lessons, as the process for solving the positions is what is important, less than the solutions themselves. The deadline for delivering homework is the evening before the class. I will mark the homework and return it so you can have a chance to look at it again briefly before the class.
Spectators can send 1-2 games and submit solutions to the exercises, but the focus will be on the target audience.
See you at the camp!
GM Jacob Aagaard
