Imagine there’s a President who wants to take his country forward. He works hard day and night.
But what if his ministers spend most of their time on vacations, not doing what they’re supposed to do.
That would mean, even despite the President’s efforts, his country would not make much progress...
See moreThe same applies to chess.
In this case, you are the President and your pieces are the ministers.
Your job is to give them a fulfilling role to unlock their full potential, contribute to the position and improve your chances of winning!
In this course, our Grandmaster coaches will show you how to do precisely all of that!
Below are some of the positions taken from the course:
Our Grandmasters will ask you many questions throughout the video. Please think over them because this will help you grasp the ideas better.
As you apply what you learn here to your games, you’ll get better at piece play and become a stronger positional player who’s capable of converting equal-looking positions.
Let’s jump in!
What you'll learn
- The most underrated(and fun!) question to improve your pieces, which anyone can use, from a beginner to a GM.
- How to find a job for your pieces in different positions — openings, middlegames, closed positions, attacking positions, etc.
- The strategy for every individual piece to play at their full potential in a position.

Still plenty of further material to come in this excellent course! I found it very useful to have watched the course “7 step method to creating a plan” before watching this course - using the steps carefully for each position meant that most times I got the plan right which is incredibly motivating!
GM_Avetik Grigoryan
Great!

I have now watched this twice (first time during the seven day trial) and think it is top-quality. Very well-presented and very useful for helping the player find ideas when it appears there is not much going on. Great stuff.

Wonderful, waiting for the next sections. Most trainers do not care about their pupils; they do not pay attention to important mopening and middlegame skills.
Sriram M
This course, along with the Commented Classical Games, have skyrocketed my middle game play! Now that I think about it, in every game, mopenings are the area where I make some inaccuracy or mistake. Thank you Coach Avetik, excited for more!
Devansh Shah
Quite unique course with new creative ideas
Tanmoy Mitra
A good strategical concept.
Christoph Serrer
So far my favourite course. I am really excited to soo more interesting ideas! I really loved Nepos moves: Kd7, Qg8 to h7. Keep going,!
Kevin Sun
Great job Avetik
Hunan Rostomyan
Wonderful, accessible lessons on how to make the most of a position. To steal from the famous saying, it teaches what to do when there isn't anything obvious to do.
