Elite Chess Coaching Seminar Inspires Local Kapiti Players

Gordon Lyall from Kapiti Chess Club

Kapiti Chess Club members, Geoffrey Gunawan, David Paul and Gordon Lyall attended an elite chess coaching seminar on Saturday 13th July. The coaching seminar was given by Chess Grandmaster Dejan Bojkov, a FIDE Senior Trainer and coach to the New Zealand Olympiad team.

Dejan is a Bulgarian grandmaster, who has a background in sport science and many years of experience as a professional chess player. For a number of years he has worked with top juniors in Europe, U.S.A., and Asia, as well as former Women’s World Champion Antoaneta Stefanova, and various national teams, plus league teams in Europe. He is part of the FIDE elite FST (FIDE Senior Trainer) panel, and produces training material for a number of online chess platforms. He is also the author of several books.

The event was hosted by Wellington Chess Club and was attended by a number of talented junior players as well as the regions top senior players, including 14 time New Zealand Champion, International Master Anthony Ker.

The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all and provided great insight into elite level chess.

Some of the concepts and advice from GM Bojkov will be presented at local coaching sessions for juniors, held at Kapiti Chess Club every Tuesday at 7pm.
