Chess Courses
Short, written, and about the things club games are actually decided by. Sign in with games imported and this list reorders itself around what you need.
- The back rank4 min
The mate that decides more club games than any tactic, and the move that prevents it.
- Playing your weaker colour5 min
When one colour scores far worse than the other, the cause is usually a habit rather than a talent.
- Trading when you are ahead5 min
Being up material is not the same as winning, and the difference is usually a trade you did not make.
- Fixing one opening properly6 min
Most repertoire problems are one line, and fixing it is an evening's work rather than a project.
- Where your clock goes4 min
Time trouble is a distribution problem, not a speed problem.
What these are, and are not
They are short written lessons on a handful of things that decide club games — the back rank, trading when ahead, where the clock goes. Each takes a few minutes and ends with one thing to do differently.
They are not grandmaster video courses, and nothing here is going to pretend otherwise. What this app can do that a course library cannot is tell you which of them is worth your evening, from your own games — so the ordering is the feature and the lessons are deliberately short.
