// SKILL TRACKS

Beginner, intermediate, advanced

Three progressive tracks a coach assigns by skill band. Each track is a sequence of lesson modules with concrete, measurable objectives — so mastery is provable, not vibes.

Beginner TRACK

First moves to first checkmate. Builds board confidence and the habits strong players never lose.

Lesson modules
  • M1 · How the pieces move
  • M2 · Check, checkmate, stalemate
  • M3 · Reading & writing notation (SAN/PGN)
  • M4 · Opening principles: center, development, king safety
Skill objectives (measurable)
  • // Deliver a basic checkmate (K+Q vs K) in under 20 moves
  • // Name a legal move for every piece on demand
  • // Record a short game in algebraic notation with 90% accuracy

Intermediate TRACK

Tactics and conversion. Students learn to win material, spot threats, and finish won positions.

Lesson modules
  • M5 · Forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks
  • M6 · Mate-in-1 and mate-in-2 patterns
  • M7 · King + pawn endgames and the opposition
  • M8 · Calculation and the candidate-move method
Skill objectives (measurable)
  • // Solve a mixed mate-in-2 set at 75%+ accuracy
  • // Convert a +3 material advantage against the engine
  • // Identify the tactic in a position within 30 seconds

Advanced TRACK

Strategy and tournament play. Plans, structures, and the discipline to compete in rated events.

Lesson modules
  • M9 · Pawn structures, weak squares, outposts
  • M10 · Annotated post-mortems with the LIORIN Tutor
  • M11 · Opening repertoire & preparation
  • M12 · Time management and tournament readiness
Skill objectives (measurable)
  • // Annotate one of your games with a clear plan per phase
  • // Hold a rated rapid game without a time forfeit
  • // Reach 80%+ accuracy across a 5-game tournament sample

// MOVE-BY-MOVE TUTOR

A coach that explains the verdict

The LIORIN Tutor reads the board the way a strong coach does. It names the threat, shows the refutation in two or three lines, and uses the selected profile and recent board context. In youth-safe mode the tutor's register is plain, encouraging, and focused on protection, balance, and reflection.

TUTOR SESSION · WORKED EXAMPLE

> POSITION ......... after 12...Bg4
> ENGINE READ ...... pin on the f3 knight
> YOUR PLAN ........ h3 looks natural — but
> THREAT ........... ...Bxf3 wins the pawn shield
> BETTER ........... Be2, unpin, then h3 safely
> MODE ............. BLENDED · youth-safe register
> NOTE ............. teaching example, not a live student log
