NPP Fall 2019 Program
Our 2019 Fall NPP program will follow the well-received 2018 Fall format. As well as the weekly intensive training sessions, this year’s NPP will also comprise of a monthly class tournament in which all NPP students are automatically registered. This tournament will fill the gap the NPP currently has by providing participants critical tournament experience with competition format time controls. In addition to tournament experience, professional coaches will be available during each tournament to analyze players’ games, a critical component to better chess. Trophies will be awarded to the top 3 players.
All players are highly encouraged to join this program – our national champion coaches are highly experienced in coaching all levels of chess and know how to train in order to attain high-level tournament success.

Online homework after each session is a key component in this program to ensure the participants have opportunities to review what they have learnt. We request the students to complete the homework as mandatory exercises in this program. Students can work at their own pace and work through the weeks until the next workshop. Coaches are available to help if any questions arise. Please remember all the activities are designed to be building blocks to assist students to reach their peak performance at the major chess championships.
