An Endgame Is A Clear Strategy!
Endgame books mainly analyze theoretical positions. However, in 95% of situations, you will reach a practical endgame position with many pieces still on the board. And endgame theory can NOT help here (whereas a strategic understanding will!). That is why learning thousands of theoretical positions will NOT help. I say:“Leave this titanic and pointless work to your opponents!” Any improvement in endgame skill amplifies your positional play automatically, because of increased strategic understanding. Remember the famous endgame masters: Capablanca, Flohr, Smyslov, Karpov, Kramnik - they all have a crystal-clear style of playing. They almost never make mistakes; they almost never lose games in the opening. Their deep strategic understanding prevents them from making mistakes! They attained this understanding while perfecting their endgame skills! That is why Capablanca recommended to start learning chess from the endgame phase! Endgame expertise bears positive influence on all other parts of your game.
What will I learn?
- It gives you ALL you need to know about any endgame.
- It gives you a step-by-step algorithm of thinking, which allows you to find the best move in any endgame position.
- My experience shows that serious students obtain 200-300rating points after learning from my chess courses.
- It shows you how endgame Masters think and how they come to the right moves.
- Thus, you will be able to imitate an endgame Expert’s thinking process and achieve the same great results!
Why this course was created
Do You Want Chess Books to Publish Your Games As Examples Of Outstanding Endgame Play With a Crystal Clear Style of Playing? (somewhere between Capablanca and Karpov)
With the course “AN ENDGAME EXPERT” this will definitely become your reality!
How to win in modern chess?
Today everyone has access to huge chess databases. Everyone can learn plenty of opening lines and numerous ‘typical’ middlegame positions. Any chess player can prepare something against you using powerful computer programs. So the problem is – how can you win?
In a chess game you should attack an opponent’s weakest square. Likewise in a preparation you should “attack” an opponent’s weakest side.
Hit in the WEAKEST point!
The majority of modern chess players do NOT have a real (deep) strategic understanding. They can attack and use tactics. However, even titled players are often weak in strategic positions. Computer engines can show you the move, but they cannot EXPLAIN it. That’s why players know how to play, but don’t UNDERSTAND it! So, how do we use our opponents’ low level of chess understanding to our advantage? You should go into an endgame!
