Let's tour you around the course
The first chapter revisits timeless opening principles. But it also shows you advanced techniques to secure an edge in the first 10 to 15 moves, like
- How to gambit a pawn. in exchange for 3 extra tempi and a raging kingside attack.
- The 4 scenarios when you MUST avoid castling. Ignoring these signs can leave your king in grave danger.
- Plus sneaky ways to develop a piece without moving it. So you save a tempo by keeping it at home, while gaining ground on the other side of the board.
The second chapter delivers a "crash course" on strategic endgames likely to come up in your games.
Among many things, chapter 2 explains
- The Tarrasch rule. which expands your rook's field of influence, while reducing the opponent's.
- How to engineer 1 of the only 2 win conditions in the endgame... by pushing the right pawn.
- Why extra material hardly matters in opposite-colored bishop endings. Instead, create this to improve your winning chances.
Next, chapters 4 and 5 showcase next-level pawn and piece play. So you can squeeze the most advantage from every unit under your control.
- Where to attack the enemy pawn chain. so you expose the vulnerable pieces behind it.
- The "higher level" pawn which pins the opposing king to one side of the board. So your king can ransack the other.
- Stuck with a strategically lost position? Watch the 5th world champion Mikhail Botvinnik "short" the piece values to stage a comeback!
- The best attacking duo in chess. and how to coordinate them for full-throttle checkmating power.
