We Had a Great Workshop Today!

During the Stop Blundering in Chess Workshop, participants worked intensively on tactical awareness, solving a large number of practical chess puzzles designed to help them recognise patterns and reduce mistakes in real games. Each student also received theoretical training materials to support their future practice.

The session was led by two coaches —Pavel and Oliver, who guided the students through the exercises and shared practical advice on how to spot tactics and avoid blunders.

To finish the workshop, students played several training games, putting their newly trained tactical skills into action. ♟

👏 Well done to all participants for their focus and hard work!

Stay tuned so you don’t miss our next workshop!
