Thanks to Lars Schandorff, and to Jacob and the Quality Chess team, for these excellent sessions, which I (and everyone else as far as I could tell) found very enjoyable and instructive.
Lars has a friendly and engaging presentation style, with lots of two-way interaction with his audience (both in the sessions, and during the coffee break chats) which quickly won over his audience.
Lars did a great job of illuminating Fischer’s style, strengths and opening tastes via great games and a few exercises. He also gave excellent insights into what made Fischer so great as a player and how his brand of ‘aggressive positional chess’ differed from the likes of Capablanca, Botvinnik, Karpov, Kasparov and Carlsen. Lars also led the group in some workshops where we jointly developed a system against the English opening based on a Fischer favourite.
A terrific four days. Here’s hoping for more training sessions in Scotland such as these!
