Time to start being in control of your games and а great calculation technique is a key to accomplish that… Being few steps ahead of the player in front of you is all it takes! 
Here is what you get:

  • #1 Most important idea to keep in mind when playing against a positional player
  • 3 key elements of calculation – when and how to use it
  • When and how Grandmasters analyze and evaluate critical positions?
  • How strong GMs find and exploit vulnerabilities in their opponent’s positions and you can too
Let your opponent be stressed out, angry and frustrated after you roll out your devastating combination. Leave them puzzled and confused about how you figured that all out over-the-board! After working through this course, the calculation will become your #1 weapon!

[FREE Mini-Course] Learn to Calculate FAST with GM Nadya Kosintseva!

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Ioannis Biazis

Is this how most of your games are lost…

 

Things are going okay, then at some point they become complicated, your opponent applies a little pressure, you miss something and land in a lost position.

 

Missing tiny details when placed under pressure, often means your calculation is shallow, shaky and not precise…

 

What if you could calculate deeper, see things more clearly, and miss almost nothing?

 

The easiest solution to your calculation problem is a disciplined calculation system.

 

That’s why we asked GM Nadya Kosintseva to teach you a brilliant system taught in the Russian school of chess – all in a brand new mini-course you can get for FREE!

(Click on the picture to learn more)

What’s Inside?

  • Three important things to look for immediately at the start of your calculations – and the precise order to check them in (this technique results in the whole position quickly “making sense” and makes your calculations crystal clear!)
  • You’ll learn the “second round” calculation technique, which rids your calculations of blunders, while exposing all the sneaky tactical patterns hiding beneath the surface (brings tactics to the surface like snakes hiding in the grass – you’ll miss nothing, even in wild positions!)
  • How to use the principled moves theory to drastically reduce your list of candidate moves and find the right move instantly (this will have a game-changing impact on your time management – say goodbye to time trouble forever!)

If you want to learn the scientific approach to calculation, the same one champions like Garry Kasparov learnt in Botvinnik’s Soviet school which allowed him (and many others) to calculate mind-boggling variations quickly and efficiently – you simply must study this mini-course.

Posted on July 21, 2017 by Ioannis Biazis
Hi friend,
don’t you want to have an amazing opening repertoire that you can rely on 100% of the time? 
Don’t you want to have a repertoire that takes out even much higher rated opponents and gives you an unparalleled edge in the middlegame and endgame? 
Most club players think it is not possible without hiring a super-expensive coach and paying him thousands of dollars for private lessons… And it was that way for a very long time. 
The good news is – it is not the case anymore! You can get a very effective, yet easy-to-learn repertoire customized for your own style by following a step-by-step instruction from one of the top opening preparation experts in the world – GM Yermolinsky!
​​​​​​​
GM Yermolinsly is the world champion of chess coaches, or if you wish, the world champion of opening preparation. That’s exactly what helped him at beating Garry Kasparov a few decades back. 
And now you can get a great deal of GM Yermo opening preparation wisdom from his comprehensive opening repertoire course. The course based on concrete examples and opening preparation “secrets” that he never disclosed before [at least to the wide audience].
Aren’t you tired of getting those “bad middlegames” time after time? Don’t you think you deserve to have better positions, enjoy the game and get that win?
I certainly think you do.
And this course is something that will definitely help you at outplaying your opponents straight from opening and getting a much better middlegame position. 
This is already an amazing offer, but I decided to make it even better by adding the two free bonuses:

FREE MINI COURSE-THE CHIGORIN DEFENSE (until the 16th of July 2017)

Posted on July 13, 2017 by Ioannis Biazis

Here is your copy of Getting Started with the Chigorin – click here to download it.

You’ll Learn:

  • To win with the powerful 8…e3! pawn sacrifice which destroys white’s pawn structure, hinders his development and creates a massive target for your future attack on his king (even GMs have lost to this easy-to-miss shot and so will your opponents!)

  • Your Knights Hop Circles Around his Bishops: Think the bishop pair is always better? This opening destroys that theory! You’ll discover how your knights can hop around easily because of your unique pawn structure and when the time is right – leap to the kingside for a winning attack (while his lame bishops look on in horror!) 

  • To Destroy White’s Position, the Moment He Plays the Most Natural Move: If he develops his pieces to “natural squares” he’ll fall victim to your deadly forcing line (and only a master will know the subtle difference between Ne2 and Nf3 in this case – everyone else will soon be resigning!)
