Nick Nixon, an experienced ECF coach, will be available to juniors FREE, as part of the provisions of the John Robinson Trust.

Sessions will take place in the Commentary Room in the mornings and the analysis room in the afternoons every day from Monday 26 July to Friday 6 August, except Sunday 1 August.

International Master Andrew Martin will also be available in the morning for individual or small group coaching of juniors who play only in the afternoon. Contact him if you are interested. Please note, junior means Under 21.

Nick will be available to go through your previous games and to offer advice and help on all aspects of playing chess. He will also be available for individual coaching sessions by appointment. During the congress find Nick or Andrew and discuss your requirements with them.

There are many strong players at the Championships, some of whom are also experienced professional coaches. Both Nick and Andrew may be able to help you to link up with one of them during the fortnight.
