"Hundreds of people from India and the rest of Asia have asked me for advice on training over the years and slowly the idea of going there to meet my friends in person grew and grew. My dream scenario of this tour would be to inspire some people to work hard towards the goals they have in chess, to give them the guidance and frankly, confidence, which is needed for someone to embark on such a difficult project as it is to acquire great skill in chess."
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
- Intensive training with talented players at highly subsidized cost
- Lecture by Aagaard on how to work on chess, which will be open to everyone including players, coaches, parents and all the chess lovers.
