• Help you find strong moves quicker with clear-cut thinking methods for both analytical and non-analytical positions in the opening, middlegame, and endgame.
• Accelerate your rating gains in the short and long-term with Dan’s Theory of Chess Improvement.

There are 5 main sections in this course:

1. Tactics and Safety – how to avoid tactical blunders, even small or advanced ones, and capitalize on your rival’s mistakes. We all understand how important tactical ability is in chess, now Dan actually gives a step-by-step program for both improving pattern recognition and our analytical powers.
2. Thought Process – probably the most important skill for players under 2200 and the topic Dan Heisman has become most famous for. How should we think at the board? We have a limited amount of time and have to consider tactics, pawns structure, create a plan, work out what our opponent is up to and find a way to stop it. From playing “real chess” to understanding non-analytical positions, Dan provides techniques for getting rid of bad habits and replacing them with good ones.
3. Openings and Tabiyas – tabiyas are common chess positions, often reached in popular openings. Dan teaches that it’s more useful to know what to do in these positions and why than just memorizing a series of moves. 29 different chess lessons explain the ideas behind the Sicilian Najdorf, King’s Indian Defense, French Defense, Ruy Lopez/Spanish and many more.
4. Piece Sacrifice in the Opening – What’s better than sacrificing a piece in the opening, taking your opponent into unknown territory, and increasing your chances to score early in the game? Coach Dan Heisman presents a video series to teach you how to use the sacrifice in the opening to stun your opponent!
5. Endings – up to master level there are only a small number of endgames you need to know. Dan Heisman explains them all here. From triangulation and zugzwang to the Philidor and Lucena positions, this is an essential knowledge that will repay you in tournament points.

With over 100 chess lessons, all produced to the high standards we have come to expect from the ICC, this bundle will elevate your chess play to 2100 and beyond with months of fascinating instruction from one of the most respected coaches around.

Enjoy your ride to a new level in your chess career!
