About This Course

We're happy to provide the students with the course they requested!

Top 25 Middlegame Concepts is a theoretical and practical course for those who want to take their chess to the next level.

How can I take my chess to the next level?

This is a typical question that most players ask themselves and that they don’t know how to answer.

Where to start? It seems there is too much to learn

The problem is that many times WE WANT TO STUDY to improve our game, but we don’t know where to start.

There are so many concepts out there, so many rules and so many exceptions to the rules too!

All of this can be very overwhelming for most players.

Coming to the middlegame is like getting lost in a jungle

And after a few opening moves we arrive at a MIDDLEGAME, in which we must be clear about what chess concepts we can apply in order to draw a plan with solid foundations.

In recent months, we have been working on the creation of A COURSE that serves as a guide for average players so that they can enrich themselves with the most essential concepts that occur in the middlegame.

What BENEFITS will the student obtain with this course?

You will learn fundamental middlegame concepts that will help you get to the next level.
You will learn to better evaluate pawn structures.
You will know what makes a minor piece better than another and exploit this advantage.
You will understand how exchanges can benefit or harm your position.
You will learn to use a different system of thought.

The PURPOSE of this course is to provide you with the 25 most crucial concepts.

In this way, the course works as a COMPLETE middlegame GUIDE for YOU.

You don’t need to study HUNDREDS of books, courses and videos out there.

You get it ALL with this comprehensive course!

We are narrowing down the study to JUST the MOST IMPORTANT concepts, so that you can get the BEST of the best within the shortest amount of time available!

A chess concept is a GUIDELINE ―a certain relatively universal pattern― that you can use in every chess game.

Knowing a pattern (rule) makes your life so much easier!

Chess concepts really make your decision making in chess a LOT SIMPLER.

Even though we’re talking about middlegame concepts, in fact, they’re QUITE UNIVERSAL.

In an OPENING position, some of these concepts are still completely applicable. And a similar concept would be 100% suitable for the ENDGAME just as well.

You learn what the most important guidelines in chess are.

I TEACH YOU A SIMPLE SYSTEM THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

We start with fundamentals, to dig then into the following rules:

After learning everything about the pieces, I teach you the rules for exchanges!

Finally, you will see how to apply the system practically.

A SYSTEM – NOT RANDOM RULES

We’re learning a system, not just a set of random and individual rules.

If you’re only equipped with different RANDOM RULES, that you learned here and there, then it’s always HARD to actually make decisions in chess. It’s hard to memorize those rules, let alone to apply them.

You only have some seconds to make your decision…

How do you find the right move?

YOU NEED to have A SYSTEM!

First of all, it allows you to memorize the rules.
Secondly, it makes you understand how the rules are related and which ones have a higher priority.
Most importantly, with this system, you will know which rule is the most important in a position, so YOU CAN JUST FOLLOW THAT.

THOUSANDS OF RULES

When you just try to study different chess books, videos and courses, you can spend your lifetime learning chess without really mastering it.

How’s it that there are some 12-year old kids who are already chess masters?

They’re FOCUSED on the most important concepts. You don’t need to know everything; you just need to know the best and most important ones!

This course will equip you with 25 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPTS based on my experience as a coach.
I’ve discovered the most common errors that amateur players make, as well as the ideas that bring people the most progress.
I’m actually amazed to see how, sometimes, people get ALL THE WAY to the Master FIDE level just by basically following these concepts.

Practice

It is necessary to put the received knowledge into practice. There are 6 practical tasks (over 50+ games) in this course, which will help you understand and remember the ideas of the course better.

The training program has a detailed explanation on what and exactly how you should do the practical tasks.
