RIP Lubomir Kavalek (1943-2021)
It is difficult to pinpoint an area of chess where grandmaster Lubomir Kavalek did not prove himself. A chess organizer, arbiter, coach, journalist, author and winner of multiple awards, he is, above all else, a brilliant grandmaster. He was born on the 9th…
Every year, I keep hearing from countless people: “I wish I have a coach so I can be a good chess player”. Imagine how good they would get if they started to self-improve each day, step by step, by learning tactics, endgame, strategy, etc., instead of wishing and doing nothing?♟
