There was once a chess trainer from Eastern Europe, GM old school, who was a trainer on the West in late 1980's. He said in an interview, that he had difficulties to teach young westerners to for example sacrifice a piece or two, even in a positional play, that is like a temporary sacrifice.
"Because of their mentality: they are used to receive, not to give!" sad that trainer.
Well I am looking now for dvd's and cd's to buy on the internet. After two OTB tournaments I would like to get some coaching...
What do you think of the following trainers and whom would you recommend?
1. Igor Smirnov

(His marketing resembles Dr Oz'es markeing, doesn't it?)
2. Adrian Mikhalchishin
He looks serious.
3.
American uncle Heisman for mid-beginners.

When I see "10 GM's chess secrets" or "Secret way how to win a titled player" I feel it's something like a hair loss lotion...
