🏆 Shortlisted for Best Tactics Course of 2021 🏆
Two Chessable powerhouses bring you a killer 1.e4 arsenal
You know CraftyRaf. He is the author of three community flagship courses, including the rave-review-earning
The Checkmate Patterns Manual.
Well, good news for all the chess lovers and beginners! Once more, Raf found the way to squeeze some time from his day-to-day obligations and develop yet another amazing course!
The power of being a know-it-all
This one is unmissable for all beginners and opening geeks out there.
Common Traps and Opening Blunders 1.e4 is a three-part series containing all the little ambushes and quick wins you need to know in Fischer’s best-by-test opening, with both colors.
This work is a natural continuation of Raf’s behemoth third course,
The Chess Openings Manual. There, the class-A player from Belgium explored all the relevant theory from the last 70 years to bring to you the names, statistics, and most popular continuations of
every chess opening.
Now, using that information, Raf strikes again with an easy guide to all the traps you should know (and avoid!) in the most popular first move of all. You are in for a treat for
this first part, as the openings discussed promise no small amount of fireworks and exciting tactical skirmishes!
“Avengers, assemble!”
If it already has the rings of a great course, you’d be thrilled to know that International Master Andras Toth is teaming up with Raf to present the video course!
That’s right! The coach responsible for one of (if not)
the best educational YouTube chess channels and illustrious Chessable series like
Chess Principles Reloaded and
Master Your Chess with Judit Polgar, is taking on Raf’s content to bring all the
chicos and chicas a learning experience like no other!
So, along with these two Chessable powerhouses, learn how to exploit all the little and big mistakes in:
🤜🤛 The Italian Game (including the Giuoco Piano, and the Two Knights Defense)
🤜🤛 The Scotch Game (including the Scotch Gambit, and the Göring Gambit)
🤜🤛 The Four Knights and the Three Knights Openings
🤜🤛 The Danish Gambit and the Center Gambit
🤜🤛 The Vienna Game and the Bishop’s Opening
With Raf’s classic encyclopedic attention to detail, and Andras’s enlightening presentation skills, you will quickly see your win rate go up, and your average move-count go down.
The reason is that this course' tactics puzzles will likely appear in your games pretty soon, as they are the most common traps and blunders in practice (played at least 200 times by players above 1600 lichess).
So, this video course will be a fantastic training and practical resource for beginners and advanced players alike, coaches looking for material for their lessons and self-taught improvers!
