thanks to these indian players i will say that brings back the memory of ramesh you know the famous indian coach and his emphasis on calculation even wrote a very difficult book on chess calculations as you know you know it's quite tough but uh you know in his training he never moves the pieces they look at the board they visualize the consequences of moves they never move piece but calculate calculate calculate in their heads and only then But okay, this was a great start by the way Tarak and we'll now maybe move on to Maybe his work with Romano if you don't mind, you know Like when did he start working with Yeliz Hubert the translator to the Russian coach What did a training day look like in practice? What were the weaknesses that he identified? And how did you fill those gaps? Let's say, did you use some Russian school of chess tools? Did you use some other tools, maybe some books or chessable courses? Just tell us a bit about a typical training day during that time.
16:14
Well, I mean, we have two kinds of training.
16:17
So some days, like we were training online, yeah? So we were just having some online classes.
16:24
And the second kind of thing was we were having some camps on site.
16:31
So, yeah, it's from Bursa.
16:32
So we were going to Bursa for these camps, which were lasting like several days.
16:38
And I can maybe, yeah, online classes you can maybe imagine, but maybe I can talk more about the camps.
