Lessons and theory

Having an incredibly busy week with mostly 4-7.5 hours of lessons every day! Still, this weekend is a little more relaxed, so I have time to update my theoretical material from the Informator and New In Chess magazine. Updating the theory is highly important as many students of mine very often ask for advice, not to mention just going over theoretical lines with them.
