Hand-hold you and train you so that you will UNDERSTAND chess at a very deep level.
All the theory lines contain my text commentaries.
No, they don’t just calculate variations. Strong players don’t just memorize opening lines. They don’t just look for tactics every move. What set really strong players ahead of the pack is their DEEP and CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the game. This clear understanding allows them to ‘JUST KNOW’ the right move!
With their deep positional and strategic understanding guiding them like a compass, strong chess players can tell the right plan and ideas and KNOW the RIGHT move ALL the time… without breaking a sweat!
Well, consider this. Modern tournament chess players spend LONG hours on:
1) Training their tactical skills and combination eye by solving hundreds or even thousands of tactical exercises.
2) Studying and memorising sharp opening lines. They even buy monthly chess opening publications to keep them up-to-date with the latest theory.
3) And when it comes to playing, they love positions that allow them to attack.
The Grandmaster’s Positional Understanding isn’t just a theoretical discussion of positional play, this course is ALL about the MOST important strategic and positional rules and, more importantly, it will show you how to apply these in your games!
With the heightened UNDERSTANDING of chess, you will make that QUALITATIVE LEAP FORWARD in your chess development.
