Imagine watching your clever little chess nut gradually become smarter, do much better at school, win the occasional chess tournament — AND have <em>tons</em> of fun!

<h2><span style="font-family: 'arial black', sans-serif;">With the Vol. 1, First Your Child Will Learn These Chess Basics...</span></h2>
<ul>
 	<li>How to understand the chessboard, and how to set it up.</li>
 	<li>What the chess pieces are and how they move.</li>
 	<li>The basics of chess openings – the best way to start your games</li>
 	<li>How to make plans and form a strategy</li>
 	<li>Beginner chess endgames</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-family: 'arial black', sans-serif;">...Then Your Child Will Develop Life-Changing Skills Like:</span></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><strong><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-816998" src="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/choose-options-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" />How to Choose Between <em>Seemingly</em> Equal Options:</strong> In life <em>and</em> in chess, we are often forced to make tough choices, and without good judgment, mistakes will be made. (<em>Diagrammed Example</em>): When a child gets to “eat” the enemy queen, they usually think the game is over, <strong>GM Susan explains how to avoid this trap and look closer...until they find the much better Qh8 checkmate!</strong></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li><strong>The Tenacity to NEVER Give Up!</strong> When a child feels like they’re “losing”, the usual reaction is to lose hope and stop trying. GM Susan teaches them that they should NEVER give up, as chess (and life!) has <strong>dozens of ways one can defend like a tiger, crawl back from the brink of defeat, outwit opponents and finally win</strong> (or draw via “stalemate tricks”) in the end!</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li><strong><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-816999 alignleft" src="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/stay-calm-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" />How to Stay Calm, Take a Deep Breath and Escape from Danger:</strong> A child’s first instinct when faced with danger is to PANIC and react <em>impulsively</em>... <strong>GM Susan teaches how our young champion can identify the danger, assess the options, and save the day!</strong> (<em>Diagrammed Example</em>): The black queen is pinned to her king and there seems to be no way to avoid losing her. Many kids would think “I guess I have no choice” and capture the bishop... <em>instead</em> of looking deeper and finding the game-saving ...Bc4! which blocks the pin!</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li><strong><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-817000" src="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/think-ahead-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" />Think Ahead!</strong> GM Susan will teach your child to visualize outcomes in advance and then calculate the correct path to success. This is an invaluable skill in both chess <em>and </em> life! (<em>Diagrammed Example</em>): The bishop can capture all pawns only by doing so in a precise order... <strong>your child will be able to calculate to the end in their mind, without even moving a piece!</strong></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li><strong><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-817001 alignleft" src="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ambitious-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" />Be Ambitious!</strong> Timid children soon become ambitious as they learn to TARGET each other’s kings and concentrate forces in the attack...and <strong>once they start winning games with these ideas their confidence <em>explodes</em>!</strong> (<em>Diagrammed Example:</em>) White has her queen positioned close to the black king, but she needs help...so with the ambitious move <strong>Ng5!</strong> a queen checkmate on h7 is inevitable!</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h2><b>Your Professional Chess Teaching Toolkit Includes:</b></h2>

<h2>Then we will focus on the post-beginner stage in Vol. 2</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The post-beginner stage is the most critical in chess.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to make serious progress in the game, it’s what you do <em>now</em> that matters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Too many players approach chess learning in a haphazard way - it always comes back to bite them later on...</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They lose game after game because of weak endgames or positional understanding, spending years stuck at the same old rating as they try to unlearn bad habits…</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Get it right the <u>first time</u> with GM Susan Polgar,</strong> former prodigy, world champion and one of the finest coaches in the world today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Susan</strong> <strong>Polgar Method for Scholastic Training Vol.2</strong> gives you a properly designed comprehensive course that covers <em>everything.</em></p>
<strong>What's in the course?</strong>
<ul>
 	<li style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/susanpolgarv2.jpeg"><img class="alignright wp-image-965650 size-thumbnail" title="susanpolgarv2" src="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/susanpolgarv2-300x300.jpeg" alt="susanpolgarv2" width="300" height="300" /></a>30 lessons averaging between 15 and 20 minutes in length - perfect for daily study.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Candidate moves and calculation. </strong>Master the most important skill in chess with Susan’s advice on how to visualize outcomes and calculate the correct path to success. <em>Would you find the stunning game-saving move for Black here (diagram)?</em></li>
 	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>King and pawn endgame mastery.</strong> The cornerstone of great endgame play. ALL other endgames can trade down to king + pawn, so you need to know which positions favor you… and how to convert them. <strong>Susan explains everything, from “the rule of the square” to triangulation and creating passed pawns. </strong>Learn chess<em> the right way </em>with this 8.5-hour course from GM Susan Polgar. You’ll progress quicker and avoid the problems many players experience later on because of bad habits.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/susanpolgarv2b.jpeg"><img class="wp-image-965651 size-thumbnail alignright" title="susanpolgarv2b" src="https://cdn1.ichess.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/susanpolgarv2b-300x300.jpeg" alt="susanpolgarv2b" width="300" height="300" /></a>Creative thinking.</strong> Your experience of chess patterns will help you massively… but you also need to be able to find creative solutions. Susan helps you develop this skill by walking you through<strong> composed studies like <em>this</em> (diagram)</strong>. With the rook <em>en prise</em> and facing a nasty discovered check, how does White save themselves?</li>
 	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Winning trades.</strong> A rook for a rook, a bishop for a bishop… that’s equal, right? Wrong! It usually favors one side. Susan explains how to be on the winning side of the trade every time.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Castling secrets.</strong> Still castling on move 5? You might have a better move. Susan explains when and where to castle and why sometimes it’s better not to castle at all!</li>
 	<li></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Learn the secrets of strategy, tactics, endgames and develop a winning mentality with this comprehensive course from an award-winning GM coach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is a training program designed to build competitive players <em>the right way</em>… without the bad habits that impede progress further down the line.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Bonuses</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To help you (or your students) get the most out of the course, Susan has included the following bonuses:</p>

<ul>
 	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The complete PGN with annotations.</strong> Analyze every game, study, and position on your computer (or challenge the engine to prove you know the winning method!)</li>
