To test and raise the most critical parts of your overall playing skill...
taking you a step closer to chess mastery.
The course packs
7 chapters and
226 challenging exercises that will:
✔️
Sharpen your vision for combinations. Go beyond standard tactical patterns, and learn how to find non-standard winning combos in your games.
✔️
Open your eyes to hidden candidate moves. No calculation required in this chapter. But you will train those eyes to find surprising opportunities.
✔️
Learn to calculate like the PROs. Discover four different mental shortcuts and tools masters use all the time, which amateurs know nothing about.
✔️
Improve your attacking and defensive skill. Play the training positions first as an attacker - then as a defender.
✔️
Read the board like a book, and build up your position move by move. See the three types of positional thinking you must use to steadily improve your position.
✔️
Hone your winning technique. Realize your hard-earned advantages and get the full point.
✔️
Test your endgame play. Because we can
always improve our endgames wherever we are on the rating scale.
The course also has
more than 65,000 words of master-level instruction by Dvoretsky himself.
“Chess Tests offers chessplayers material of very high quality for working on various themes, from training combinative vision to techniques of realizing advantages.
I recommend using those materials for in-depth work in the directions mentioned in the book.
