Tamarkin This ehm? sick individiual (Rober James Fischer) gave an other reason why so rusians score well in chess which might be treu I also think that the rusian school material is much better then in other country's many times you see that a player finds the book Nimzo mine system when he already is playing for years at a club This material is already givven to kids in Rusia At the moment I am teaching a group of kids chess And I started to take the book Nimzowich mein system as starting point for kids which came to step 2 The first good result I did get was that they looked better at the positions So material losses for nothing did not apear anymore But then I let them play games for some weeks and they lost intrest in lessons Which also was seen in their games again the material loses for nothing apeared I think this is precisely why there are not as much good players in other countrys Because many childeren already loosing intrest in the game on an early age and the short comming of disipline regards Marc van Hal > > > >
