Thanks to technology a player who is keen to improve the game can improve it from the comforts of one's home through online chess coaching.

Skype is the medium through which a chess trainer from one part of the world can coach a player residing in another part of the world.

All it needs is a good internet connection and a headphone.

Webcam is optional.

By calling out the moves through the mic or by typing out the notations on the text window the moves can be communicated to the other side.

As soon as the move is communicated the move can be made in a real chess board.

One should ponder over the next move by looking at the real chess board and once a decision is made then after making the move the same can be communicated through the mic or by typing the notation on the text window.

Players who are yet to get the notations right can use the webcam focussed on the chess board so that the trainer can see the player's board and check if the pieces are in the right squares and if any discrepancy is found out it can be told through the mic.

Players who are interested to be coached by FIDE tournament players through Skype may contact chessplayer2014 through Skype or email squares64@gmail.com or call 9176195928 (India)
