Most strong chess players are terrible teachers.
It’s because they learned chess so long ago — and raised their level so much — they’ve lost touch with the frustrations of the average club player.
You’ve seen it…he’s explaining a chess concept…using overly difficult examples… and rushing through the moves at breakneck pace, dropping comments like “and…of course, this is winning…” — then quickly moving on before you have a chance to solve the position.
These guys are chess players — not chess teachers.
Marian Petrov is different.
He’s a strong Grandmaster, sure…but listen to this:
“…He graduated from the National Sports Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria with a Bachelor’s degree in Chess Pedagogy, a four-year undergraduate program designed to prepare top-level chess trainers, mentors, and professional seconds of the World Championship contenders.”
That’s impressive. His college major was literally chess teaching. As a result of this, he knows what to teach, how to explain difficult concepts, and in which order you should learn each topic.
