This course is about pawn endgames. Sometimes pawn endgame seems to be equal: both sides have equal material. In this course I teach you how to use your king activeness, better pawn structure and reserve tempos forcing your opponent to worsen his position. If you are a strong chess player, you may know that deep calculation helps to win pawn endgames, and I would agree with you. But anyway if you know what plan to apply in a certain position, you may calculate fewer lines. This course consists of 15 lectures. In every lecture I cover a certain motif which can be applied in any pawn endgame. At the end of the course I prepared a quiz for you. I designed this course for beginners and club players with FIDE rating from 1200 to 2000. But if you don’t have FIDE rating, this is not a problem and it shouldn’t stop you from taking this course. Even if you are a strong player, you may not know some tricks which can be applied in pawn endgames. Learn them from this course! After finishing this course, your chances to win approximately equal pawn endgame will improve. With this course you also get: unlimited lifetime access at no extra costs all future additional lectures, game examples never any questions asked full 30 day money-back-in-full guarantee Sincerely, Viktor

Hey there! This is Paul Carrero, I have been playing chess for the last 10 years, and a year ago I decided to start a youtube channel with the idea of listening to people’s thought processes while we played games online and correcting the flaws that they had when approaching the game. I have done this with people from 35+ countries, and in    this course you’ll find some of the most important realizations that I had through the year while spotting flaws in people’s minds. The moves that we play on the board are nothing but the result of our thought processes, if your thought process is disorganized, lacks structures and you are missing guidance, then your moves will reflect your incongruences and flaws. The moves are the effect, your thought process is the cause, nonetheless, everybody is making such gigantic emphasis on the moves and everybody is forgetting to talk about the most fundamental thing, your thought process. Roll in and change the perspective that you have of the game, spot your flaws and get a deeper comprehension of chess psychology now, its algorithms and its complexity.

Imagine you have come to a shop to purchase a mobile phone. The shopkeeper gives you a phone with 10 books on how it works and how to use it. The same process is followed in chess learning. There’s a huge difference between knowledge and skill. For example, you can read thousands of books about martial arts, but it doesn’t mean that you’ll become a great fighter. Apart from information, you need to train and acquire necessary practical skills. This is true just as much for chess.

One of the main mistakes beginner-level students make is that when they are faced with threats, they panic, often causing them to make false assumptions and select sub-optimal moves. This training course is designed to improve thought process and calculation habits when responding to our opponent's threats. The course focuses on three general types of defense: reaction, prevention or prophylaxis, and counter attack. The author uses examples from his own tournament games to emphasize the importance of choosing defensive resources which are multipurpose and maximize the activity of the defender's pieces. There are many opportunities for the student to calculate and answer concrete tactical questions on their own throughout the course. The course is aimed at beginner-level players but can be useful for players in the 900-1500 rating range. The total run-time for the course is 83 minutes .
