Sample lesson guide

The sample lesson is the main proof asset for the current EloNotes website. It shows the intended student-facing lesson shape without claiming finished pilot results.

What the sample lesson demonstrates

• A lesson drafted from recent student games rather than a generic topic.
• A specific recurring pattern: loose pieces after exchanges.
• A coach-reviewed explanation that turns analysis into plain student guidance.
• A lightweight assignment the student can use before the next lesson.
• A student recap that reinforces the weekly idea without overwhelming the reader.

How creators should evaluate it

• Is the lesson grounded in actual game moments?
• Is the explanation specific enough for a student to act on?
• Is the creator review layer clear rather than hidden behind automation?
• Does the assignment feel useful without becoming homework bloat?
• Would this format support a recurring coaching product for the creator’s audience?

What creators can change

The public example is a product direction preview, not a locked lesson template. Launch partners should expect to tune voice, examples, lesson length, drill style, and follow-up prompts around their audience.

Current example

The public sample follows a student rated 1240 rapid. The weekly theme is “what remains undefended?” after an exchange sequence. The lesson includes a main pattern, a position from a student game, a coach note, a short training plan, and a student recap.

Treat this as a quality bar and conversation starter. It is not a promise that every creator, student, or lesson will produce identical results.
