NM Nick Beqo's March 2, 2003 "Do you frequently ...... This is the home page promise of Nick Beqo's website, which offers chess lessons by email. Let's meet Nick... "My name is Nick Beqo, born in Albania, on the 26th of July, 1964, and living in BC, Canada, since July of 1996. As of May 2000, I am a Canadian citizen. I have been working full time in the Business Equipment industry, and taking evening courses in computer networking and programming. However, I still continue to learn and teach chess!" Nick's site is all about his learn-by-mail chess lessons, and we'll talk about those in a moment. First, a quick look at other material available on Nick's site. He had one annotated game; some background information about himself; a page about Bobby Fischer; a 'What's New" page with a couple of interesting positions. He also has translated versions of the site in Spanish, French, and German. I cannot comment on the translations themselves, but judging from the Spanish page I looked at, they could be a little dicey. UPDATE (4-2-03): Nick has dramatically improved the navigation on his site, and given it a fresh new look. The address has changed too, and that new address is reflected above. Time to take another look! The email chess lessons is Nick's biggest draw on this site. He offers 26 lessons for $69.99 USD, although fewer lessons can be purchased at $3 per lesson (minimum order seven lessons for $19.95). Nick writes "Basically, the goal of my weekly lessons via e-mail is motivating students to think, analyze and annotate on their own. I guide them by assigning homework, marking it, and based on this I send them study material, and homework in the areas I notice more weaknesses. The homework I assign for the students consists of answering my questions in the study material I send them, and I also ask my students to annotate at least one game weekly. I have noticed that students find studying endgames boring, so I pay more attention to this part of the game. However, I also deal with openings and middlegame, and for very advanced students I update my lessons with the latest INFO and games." Check out Nick's email chess lessons, and good chess to you!
