Chessville - Chess Instruction, News, Book & Product Reviews, Chess Fiction, and Many Other Chess Resources
Description
"It's generally - but erroneously - assumed that the best teachers are the best players, and that the best players can easily communicate the secrets of the game. Actually, the best teachers are often just interested amateurs."
While Masters, IMs, and GMs may have the fancy titles, high ratings, fame, and the greatest respect of the chess world at large, it is the “chess proletariat” which overwhelmingly comprises the largest percentage of the chess information consumer demographic. That is why Chessville has been created by and for the aspiring chess amateur.
We at Chessville firmly believe that titled players, while clearly achieving high levels of chess ability, do not necessarily make the best chess teachers, although some titled players certainly are good teachers. That is why our primary contributors (of instructional materials, advice, game analysis and annotation, book reviews, etc.) are experienced and reflective amateurs. We believe that such players understand the game more than sufficiently to provide instruction to the “average” chess player. More importantly, they better understand what it is that the typical chess amateur wants and needs, and can communicate the relevant information as well or better than most GMs. We at Chessville make no claim to authority, nor do we attempt to rest on the laurels of official titles or ratings. Rather, we intend our instruction and information to stand on its own merits.
