Learning how to attack is a skill you should develop early on in your career.

It’s fun to learn and can fetch you many victories, especially at the amateur level, where good defensive skills are usually lacking.

And studying attacking classics is one of the best ways to improve this skill.

However, many players take the wrong approach.

Some watch a beautiful attacking game on Youtube, which delights their eyes but leaves their mind with very little to learn...

Others spend 4-5 hours analyzing a random classic, forcing themselves to play over all the complicated variations. Eventually, they get lost in detail and miss the main points to actually improve their game.

This course addresses the above problems.

Our Grandmaster coaches give you a structured approach to studying classics that shows you precisely what you need to grasp from the game, speeding up your learning process.

Below are some of the positions taken from this course:

Commented attacking games
