The Instructor
by Mark Dvoretsky


"You may have some of his books. Titles such as Secrets of Chess Training, Secrets of Chess Tactics or Training for the Tournament Player, to name just three. Books recognized throughout the chess world for their excellence and depth.

You may have heard his name mentioned as chess trainer extraordinaire. Among his students are included Yusupov, Dolmatov and Dreev. It is almost superfluous to mention that he won the Moscow Championship in 1973, finished fifth in the USSR Championship in 1974 and was awarded the title of International Master in 1975. The second issue of the American Chess Journal (1992) featured an in-depth look at this modest Moscow master. It was entitled The World's Best Chess Trainer. There is not much to say after that.

We sincerely hope you enjoy his new column at The Chess Cafe. Mark Dvoretsky is... The Instructor"
