THOUGHTS OF A CHESS ADDICT

  To get to Tampines Hub the best way from the Central and West, take the PIE and exit at 3B and drive towards  Tampines Ave 2. You can go via Tampines Ave 7 and join Tampines Ave 4, then turn right at the junction of Ave 5. There is less traffic on this route than if you are to come from the Simei Exit and up Tampines Ave 5. The  EW(2) line station  is also quite close.  As for parking, there is an open car park just after the Hub. Drive past the Hub, turn round the corner and you'll see the entrance on the Ave 5 curve. This is a coupon parking carpark and open-air (60cts 1/2 hr) and has about 200+ lots. The other place to park is across from the Tampines Hub at Block 858-864 which is open to public 7am to 7pm coupon parking. You can enter this carpark from St 83 Block 864 and navigate towards Block 859. The hawker centre is not aircon but there are huge fans to keep air circulated there.                    ...

I have some enquiries for the online class. Mostly about schedules. I am currently working on having it on Mondays or Tuesdays from 8pm, but this is flexible as the session is just an hour long. Let me know what works and we can come to a consensus. A little explanation perhaps on why I chose the topics. Some may think they have no takeaways in terms of chess knowledge as there is little technical content offered in the session. My rationale is that there are lots of how-to videos available on Youtube ( if you know how to pick them) that it makes no sense to repeat them. I would rather show you how to access them. If you have questions or wish to seek advice on your improvement, I can certainly answer them or point you to the right source. Having accessed many books and YouTube clips on chess gives me a wide catalog on what is good to address your issue.  Hope you try this out ! I am planning a 10 day vacation in late Oct so hopefully we can start this going before that.
