GM Alex Baburin's Junior 'Chess Fitness' Online Training camp
1–5 Jul 2024
During the camp we will examine instructive games, tactical motifs, openings and endgames. Students will solve puzzles, play training games and training exercises with a sparring partner. On one of the days they will also partake in a simultaneous-play exhibition against me. Students can attend the camp for any number of days. Please note that this camp isn't suitable for complete beginners as we won't be reviewing the rules of chess.
